Story

THE MIDNIGHT WALK (13.1 MILES)
IN MEMORY OF MY MUCH LOVED NAN – MARY  JOYCE BANKS

ON THE 22 MARCH 2008 MY LOVELY BRAVE NAN DIED PEACEFULLY AT ST LUKES’S HOSPICE IN WINSFORD.  SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER OF THE BONE MARROW IN JANUARY 2005.
SHE FOUGHT THIS ILLNESS WITH SUCH DETERMINATION AND BRAVERY, UNDERTAKING BOTH RADIO & CHEMOTHERAPY.
SHE WAS TAKEN TO ST LUKES’S HOSPICE IN MARCH AND DURING THE LAST DAYS OF HER LIFE SHE WAS TREATED WITH LOVE AND DIGNITY BY THE NURSES AT ST LUKES’S.  THEY DID ALL THEY COULD TO ENSURE SHE WAS COMFORTABLE AND FREE FROM PAIN.
MY FAMILY CAN NEVER THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR ALL THEY DID, BUT MY SPONSORSHIP MONEY WILL GO A SHORT WAY TO HELPING ALL THE OTHER FAMILIES WHO WILL RELY UPON THE HOSPICE IN THENEXT 12 MTHS.
THANK-YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
