Please support Sam Webb who is going to have her head shaved. Sam is health care assistant on the In-patient Unit at St Richard's Hospice. On Saturday 26th September 2009, Sam is going to have her beautiful long locks shaved off at Sixways Stadium in front of thousands of Warriors fans.
Sam is doing this because she is bonkers! No, seriously, because she feels that the hospice offers the best possible palliative care to those who need it most. Sam is fortunate enough to have long hair. Some of the patients she looks after have lost their hair through cancer treatments. Losing hair for some people can be difficult but Sam, from being inspired by these patients, is going to prove that bald is beautiful!
Please dig deep and sponsor Sam now!
The hospice is celebrating its silver anniversary marking 25 years of providing free specialist palliative care for patients living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and supporting their families. Each year the hospice team supports over 2,000 patients and family members in Worcestershire.
Patients are cared for in Day Hospice, the In-patient Unit or in their own homes by a specialist team including nurses, doctors, social worker, family therapist, counsellors, physiotherapist, occupational therapists and Citizens Advice Bureau worker as well as many trained volunteers.In the In-patient Unit specialist staff are on hand 24 hours a day to manage patients’ symptoms and where, if they so choose, patients may spend the last few days of life in comfort and dignity. St Richard’s is grateful for all donations towards the £4.8m they need to raise this year to continue their work.
