We are raising funds for Rotherham Hospice, by taking part in their annual 10km at 10pm night walk, in memory of our dad Robert Slater.

Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January 2015 after having symptoms in late 2014. He tried every treatment and trial that he could, but non of them were effective for him. In September 2018 we were given the devastating news that there was nothing more that could be done. Dad fought so hard but he got weaker and his condition deteriorated to such an extent that when he was admitted to the hospice in early November 2018, we were told to expect to have no longer than 3 weeks with him. He passed this and came home again on the 10th of December with help from the hospice at home team and a team of carers, and bravely battled on for another 5 weeks, finally passing away on the 15th of January 2019 aged just 56.

Funds raised go to ensuring Rotherham Hospice can continue to provide vital services across Rotherham, such as their 14 bed inpatient unit, Hospice at Home, Sunbeams Child Bereavement Service, among other services.
