Story

Sandra Richardson died at a Marie Curie Liverpool on Wed 25th August 2021. Sandra lived with Stage 4 breast cancer for 3 years and wanted to raise funds for Marie Curie Hospice in Liverpool who looked after her so profoundly. After spending her life working tirelessly in communities in Liverpool Sandra and her wife Clare wanted to help the doctors, nurses, all staff and patients where she is being cared for in Marie Curie.  The funds will partly go to building a rest and renew space for staff working 12 hour shifts. This fundraising is in Sandras memory. We loved her deeply.
