Story

This challenge is particularly close to their hearts. Zack’s mam and Libby’s nana, Keely, is the Ward Manager at St Bede’s, giving them a unique insight into the kindness and support the team provides every day. Oscar also has a special connection to the hospital, as his mam works at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital too.

St Bede’s provides specialist palliative care to patients and their families during some of life’s most difficult moments. The dedicated team delivers comfort, dignity and compassion, helping patients live as fully and comfortably as possible while supporting their loved ones every step of the way.

Charitable donations help enhance the environment and support available on the unit, creating a calm and welcoming space where patients and families can spend precious time together and make lasting memories.

By sponsoring Zack, Libby and Oscar, you will be helping St Bede’s continue to provide the outstanding care, comfort and compassion that so many local families rely upon.

Please support their challenge if you can and help make every moment matter for patients and families at St Bede’s.
