Richie died suddenly in April 2020 from complications related to Covid19. As a special thanks to the dedicated staff in the ICU dept at James Cook Hospital, who fought tirelessly to save his life, like so many others. we are asking for donations to help in this fundraising event. 

The garden is being designed by local artist Laura Johnston Studios, who has created a number of different pieces for James Cook, including the dichroic globe in hospitals atrium and an organ donor memorial.
