On the 11th of October 2016 i lost my dear friend Debbie, she battled her cancer for 3 years without showing an ounce of weakness, I know she wouldn't have been able to fight for this long without the amazing help and support of the nurses and doctors at the Velindre Cancer Centre and the care given at Holme Towers, Penarth. 

During her Chemotherapy Debbie would sit and chat with the nurses about her week, she always had interesting things to tell them; whether it was her Sunday with her Pistonheads car friends racing over the black mountains or a quiet few days with her nieces Paige and Ellie, Deb always looked forward to her chats, keeping her mind off the treatment she was going through. 

When Debbie became ill and needed help with her care she was admitted to the hospice at Holme Towers in Penarth, the staff were fantastic with her, catering to her every need, dealing with all her visitors and keeping her company when she wanted it, and most of all making her comfortable. 

I know it's a lot to ask for but Deb has a lot of friends who will miss her dearly and I think it would be nice for us to group together to raise some funds to say thank you for caring for her so well, and for the outstanding work they carry out at these hospitals and hospice, that rely upon the good will and charity of others in order to be able to offer the patients the care and dignity they need.
