When Dad became ill, knowing the Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall hospice was so close to home and a place he knew well meant a great deal to him.

For my mum, my sister, and me, it brought great peace of mind to see him receive such incredible care from people who truly have a passion for what they do. Nothing was ever too much trouble, Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need.

There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with Sue Ryder's support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. They are there when it matters.

Beyond raising money, my main goal is to raise awareness. At some point, someone in your life will need this kind of care - it's crucial that Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice is always there to offer comfort and support when people need it most
