Team: Remembering Emma McConnell

In memory of Emma McConnell
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Weldmar Hospicecare needs to raise £26,000 a day to continue the specialist end of life care we provide in Dorset, both in the comfort of patient's own homes and at our IPU in Dorchester. 20% of our costs are met by the NHS, the rest comes from the generosity of our local community.

Story

 Emma was our daughter, all who knew her would agree she was an inspiration, although she hated us using that expression,the manner in which she dealt with her illness was truly amazing. Always cheerful, even when she was feeling terrible, she never expressed how she really felt.

In her last few days Weldmar looked after us all, which we needed and made it as bearable as things could be.

Emma suggested walking the Jurassic coast for Weldmar when her Grandfather died but unfortunately, because of her illness, we never managed it but now we are determined that this summer we will do it! 

So this walk is to remember Emma with as many of her friends that can join us, to share a few memories and to raise money for an exceptionally worthy cause.
