My story

 

Ali was a talented and inspirational ski instructor who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in November 2007 and sadly passed away on 22 June 2008.  

   

He was fortunate to spend his last 7 weeks at The Hospice of St Francis where he received the specialist palliative care that only they can provide.  Ali felt safe, comfortable and happy in the warm and loving environment created by the dedicated professionals caring for him and which should be available to everyone.

 

He was a very special and generous person who touched and enriched the lives of thousands and our hope now is that those lucky enough to have known him will help us to reach our target of £100,000 to fund a bed for one year to help others as Ali wished.
