So, on the 21st April, rather than spending the weekend improving Bargain Booze's profits we are going to tackle Ben Nevis in aid of the fantastic St David's Hospice in Llandudno. This is a charity that is very close to my friend Gary's heart as it continues to provide exemplary care for his mother, Joyce (pictured). Paul and Helen are raising money for an equally worthy cause Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham. I know this charity is also very close to their hearts too.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.25; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">The main objective of St David&rsquo;s Hospice is to provide care for people suffering from progressive, life threatening illnesses. This care will be provided in a homely, relaxed atmosphere and it is intended to meet the patient&rsquo;s physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.25; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">We recently visited the&nbsp;St David's Hospice to meet some of the staff and of course Joyce (a simply lovely person) and I know we all found it a humbling experience and a great insight into the lives of these superb people (Staff and Patients)</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.25; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Sadly Gary's Mum, Joyce, passed away on Monday 20th February after a courageous battle. This has galvanised us in our determination to raise as much money as possible for this fantastic organisation.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.25; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Please dig deep and help us raise as much as possible for this amazing place.</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.25; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">Cheers &amp; thanks, Ant....xx</p> <p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; border-image: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size: 1.3em; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #ffffff; color: #73645d; line-height: 1.25; padding: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;">&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
