The aim to raise much needed funds for Marie Curie Hospice Bradford, where Ruth spent some happy times when at the Day Care Unit a few years ago and then again, at the end of her life. At this time, she was granted peace, wonderfully supported with dignity throughout. In memory of Ruth, we wish to try and raise sufficient funds to 'Pay for a Day's care' at Marie Curie Bradford, as a really special reminder which will be with us all, forever.

The Marie Curie Bradford Hospice supports people living with a terminal illness and those closest to them to live as well as possible.
