Story

Thanks for visiting our page....

Melinda, Elaine and Vicki are doing the 13.2mile Midnight Walk on 20th June in memory of Eileen Butterworth, Elaine and Vicki's Mum and Melinda's second Mum. 

Eileen died on 19th June 2005 after a 2 year battle with cancer.  St Catherine's hospice took such great care of her.  She enjoyed her weekly trips to the Day Hospice where she would always, without fail, come last in the quizzes(!) and enjoyed meeting her friends and taking part in all the activities.  She also spent respite time in St Catherine's to give Elaine and Vicki a break when caring for her.

She spent her last week in the hospice where they took the greatest care of her and were wonderful to the last. We would like to give something back to them and we hope you can help us do that.

St Catherine's also took great care of our Uncle, Syd Heffernon in his last days.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St Catherine’s Hospice (Crawley) gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please dig deep as we attempt a long and dark walk round Horsham for 13.2miles!!!  Every little helps, as the advert says!

Thank you very much
Melinda, Elaine and Vicki xxx
