Fundraising for Bolton Hospice
Story
Claire Frances James
Proud Grandma to my Harlow Rose, Frances Kathryn & Caspar. Mum to my two gorgeous boys Josh & James.
April 2018 on a night out I dared, then double dared Greg Gardener Boyes to be my dance partner in this event!
Challenge accepted, he has been the most amazing dance partner. The wonderful thing about dancing … is the friendships you can make!
Thankyou Greg!
And so it began .. totally out of our comfort zone we opted for the highly technical but stunningly spectacular Argentine Tango! None stop dance practice, sore feet, aching hips, trodden on toes and dropped a few times.. (no thanks to my dance partner Greg) the big day is upon us!
Overwhelmed and grateful to those who have donated, I must thank my lovely friends and family, especially my Mum ‘Linda’ who have sat through endless videos of the dance routine, always giving kind words of encouragement and support.
My choice to support this amazing hospice is in memory of Patricia ‘Tatty’ Doyle, mother to Rachel and a lady who was a very important person in Laura, my beautiful daughter in laws life. She bravely battled cancer and her last days were spent in the hands of Bolton Hospice with her loved ones by her side. They saw at first hand the care and compassion the Hospice provide.
The hospice cannot give extra days to a life, but they do give quality and dignity to the last days of a life.
