Story

As most people will know I sadly lost my mother to cancer on the 8th of February 2019, it was and will be one of the hardest times of mine and my families life. She was sadly diagnosed with bladder cancer last year and had successful surgery to remove the bladder but only a few weeks later we were told the worst news possible that the cancer had some how spread and was terminal. It hit me and my family so hard and we just didn't want to believe it. She was told that with successful radiotherapy she would have a chance of going to nightingale house hospice in Wrexham and would be able to come home some days to have some normality. My mum being my mum held on so strong and didn't show the pain her body was in. On the day of her radiotherapy she decided to go up with the angels. 


So I am raising money for Nightingale House Hospice for all the amazing work they do and to give something back into the community. If we raise over £1500 then a commemorative rose bush will be ordered in the loved ones name and if  £5000 is raised a specially designed pebble will be inscribed with your loved ones name which will be kept at the hospice in a designated water flowing pebble pool, the will be in memory of my mum.
