Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In memory of my beautiful mum who sadly passed away 2nd September 2019. I am rising money for Saint Francis Hospice. Saint Francis Hospice is an independent charity and one of the largest adult hospices in the UK. Their team of specialist consultants, doctors, nurses and a range of other health and social care professionals provide care and support to individuals with a life-limiting illness, as well as their carers and family members, completely free of charge.

Brenda's Story

In June 2019 my beloved mum was taken ill whilst I was in New Zealand travelling. Upon flying home to be with my mum i was informed that she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Sadly, she loss her speech very early on and was unable to communicate with us. Despite not knowing she has cancer for two years are mum carried on as normal and was an extremely kind, strong and independent women. This news was devastating for our family and our mum was moved to Saint Francis Hospice for her end of life care.The hospice was kind, loving, supportive and treated my mum with dignity and respect. The hospice supported us through this devastating time and showed great compassion towards us all when our mum sadly passed away on the 2nd September 2019. This devastating loss was extremely hard for our family and each day I pray for a cancer cure to stop others experiencing the same devastation and loss that we had to. 

Brenda loved her family and was a huge presence in our lives, my world shattered to pieces at the loss of my mum. To mark a year and a half since her death, I really wanted to give something back to the hospice for all the help it gave mum at the very end. I wanted to do something big and show my gratidue to the hospice and honour my mums memory and legacy as she continued to support local charities in our community. . 

On 21st March 2021 I am embarking on a exhilarating challnge of a life time by sky diving from a height of 10,000 ft to raise vital funds to support the hospice and other local people with life limiting illness and their families. Saint Francis Hospice has been hit hard my the coronavirus pandemic and relays on our donations to continue their hard work. 

People say time heals your pain but there is a void in my heart and in my world that will never be filled, but I am determined to do all I can to thank the hospice for all there support and to give back to a wonderful charity. 

I know my mum would have been extremely proud of me. Please help me my continuing her legacy and supporting to this cause. 

I know the hospice doesn't get as much support as it should from the government and it is important that it is there for local people when they need it. Please help me in supporting the hospice and honouring my mums memory and others by donating to this wonderful cause.

Any donation big or small will go towards supporting Saint Francis Hospice. 

Thank you in advance.
