We cant believe it has has been two years since we lost Mum/Grandma and there is not a day that we do not think about her.

However, through the devastation and heart break what we did learn was what an amazing place St Michael's Hospice is. The staff gave Mum dignity and the upmost care, both at home and in the Hospice, also the support they offered us as a family.

The Hospice multi-disciplinary team includes doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, complementary therapists, social workers, chaplains and counsellors. These specialist Hospice staff work together and often in partnership with the NHS to relieve patients’ symptoms, control their pain and help them to live well until the end of life. It is vital that everyone that needs it has the appropriate care and support they need to cope with the complex feelings and lifestyle changes caused by a terminal illness.

The Hospice is reliant on donations to be able to provide the service they do. Last year Amelia and I did the walk and I'm not going to lie by the end I was flagging but Amelia's optimistic and tenacious spirit, obviously inherited from her Grandma spurred me on.

We are excited to do it again, we will walk 15km talking, giggling and importantly remembering Mum; alongside so many other strong women, each with their own story, at the same time hopefully raise some important funds for the Hospice. If you are able please donate every little will help thank you xxx
