Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When my mum Judy was Diagnosed with Cancer in January 2017 we didn't realise how quick the cancer would spread and she unfortunately she passed away in June 2017 at the Rowcroft Hospice surrounded by her family. Rowcroft Hospice in Torquay provided end of life care which was invaluable for my mum and provided emotional support to myself and family through what was a very difficult time for us all.

I have chosen to support Kemp Hospice as it is local to me and I have seen the support they have given to many friends that have gone through difficult times with family members with life limiting illnesses.

KEMP has been providing valuable care and support to people across the Wyre Forest, affected by a life-limiting illness, for over 50 years.

They give end-of-life care, counselling and emotional support free of charge to adults facing a life-limiting illness, their families, and carers for as long they need it. We’re by their side in our day hospice, in their home or virtually, as they face some of their toughest times.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
