A True Warrior

Catherine Babbage is raising money for Wigan and Leigh Hospice
In memory of Catherine Theresa Smith
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
We provide specialist end-of-life care, and a wide range of support services, to over 1,200 people who are living with a life-limiting illness in the Wigan Borough. Many patients are cared for in their own homes, although we also care for people living in care homes and in our In-Patient Unit.

Story

<p>If you are visiting this page today then thank you from the bottom of our hearts.</p> <p>Our mum was a very brave lady during the last few years of her life. She showed strength, dignity and resolve in her fight with cancer and will continue to be loved and inspire us daily.</p> <p>The final weeks of Mum's life were spent in the peace and tranquility of Wigan &amp; Leigh Hospice in Hindley. The relentless care of the staff and volunteers, not only towards our mum but her friends and family, will live with us forever.&nbsp;</p> <p>To show our gratitude we have decided to offer donations to the hospice and have close family flowers only. All donations will be much appreciated and will allow other people like my mum to be given an amazing end to their life.</p> <p>We appreciate times are hard so all donations, from pennies to pounds, will be much appreciated.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for you kind support at such a difficult time.</p> <p>(Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
