My great uncle Geoff recently passed away battling cancer, through a global pandemic, and I’d like to show my support to the staff at Katharine house who looked after him so amazingly when his family couldn’t get to see him. His own sister (nana jean) was unable to say her goodbyes in person due to lockdown restrictions, and as if it couldn’t get any worse, she was then diagnosed with stage 4 cancer just one week after he passed. Cancer is a cruel disease, and a local hospice like Katharine house makes all the difference to the families trying to cope in such difficult circumstances.
