Story

Another year and another Moonlit Memories Walk!🚶‍♀️👟

As you know I have been a Rowans Hospice Supporter for many years and now I have experienced their services first hand.

This year I am walking 6 miles as part of a family team 'Bee Positives for Rose' 😘🐝💕 Mum was always saying her motto was to 'Be Positive' and this was never more true than when she was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer in August 2021 and throughout her Chemotherapy and treatment and up to her final few days.

Rowans Hospice was an integral part of her support and after Mum was in hospital she was very fortunate to be transferred straight away to The Rowans on 21st April 2022 where she received exceptional care from the amazing staff and volunteers until her death on 3rd May 2022. Throughout this time I know these last days were made better by the wonderful hospice.

And vital funds are needed so that other people can continue to experience the same warmth and fantastic care that was offered to my Mum and to us in extended services and so the Rowans can continue  to offer all their services.

This year's walk will be taking place a couple of weeks following the 1st anniversary of Mum's passing so is a special memorial walk for myself and the family

Please help in any way that you can as every penny really does count, especially in these times when everyone is having to dig deep! It means a lot ❤

THANK YOU SO MUCH!🌟

Rowans Hospice provide palliative and end-of-life care to the highest quality for those living with a life-limiting illness in the South East of Hampshire. Our highly trained hospice carers help to improve quality of life for the patient by easing physical symptoms as well as offering psychological, spiritual and social support to both patients and their loved ones. Our dedicated hospice care is available round the clock either in house or at home, as well as offering services for day visitors in our Living Well Centre. Wellbeing events and classes are available to carers, patients and the bereaved with no referral required. Whilst our care is provided free of charge, we are in fact a hospice charity and 90% of our income is generated by legacies, donations, fundraising and our retail shops. Through your generous donations and fundraising we continue to provide much needed support to the community and make a difference to so many lives and for this we thank you.
