Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Ronald Gordon Foad, my darling dad, lost his brave battle with Mesothelioma (an asbestos related cancer) on 29th August 2010 aged just 69.

He had the most phenomenal care at Forest Holme Hospice in Poole, Dorset and my family and I can't thank enough every single member of staff who made his last few days as comfortable as they possibly could. They enabled us to be a family whilst continuing to care for his very specialist needs and their support for us as a family was second to none.

Forest Holme relies heavily on personal donations and it was the family's wish that, instead of flowers at his funeral, donations be made to this very worthwhile charity.

 

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please consider making a donation, however small and to those that do, we thank you from the very bottom of our hearts.
