🌟 Jill’s Army Takes on the 10K Starlight Hike 🌟
On the 4th October 2025, we, Jill’s family – aka Jill’s Army – will be walking 10K under the stars in Peterborough to raise vital funds for Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, where our beloved Jill spent her final two weeks surrounded by compassion, dignity, and care.
Jill was a devoted wife, a loving parent, a dedicated grandparent and a true fighter with extraordinary courage and fearlessness. Her honesty, warmth, and personality touched everyone who knew her. Even in her final days, she showed us what it means to live with resilience and unwavering strength.
Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice gave Jill the comfort, support, environment and compassion she deserved, and gave us – her family – the peace of knowing she was in the best hands. Now, we walk to honour her memory and to help ensure others receive the same incredible care.
Every step we take is for Jill. Every pound raised helps Sue Ryder continue their essential work, providing expert care and emotional support to families during the most difficult times.
Please support us if you can – whether by donating, sharing, or cheering us on. Together, we can make a difference.
Thank you for helping us keep Jill’s light shining. 💜
A message from Christina
“As a member of staff on the Inpatient unit, I got to experience first hand the kindness of my colleagues and the incredible work we do at Thorpe Hall, it was a comforting to me for Jill to have the experienced and knowledgeable staff present to manage her symptoms and help us give Jill the best care possible. Thank you will never be enough 💜”
