Why we are fundraising

DJ Williams of Monmouth, Wales (he’d love that title!), needs no introduction. Known and loved by everyone, DJ can quite honestly be described as the life and soul, with a story and a smile for everyone.

In DJ’s memory, his family and friends from Monmouth MOT will be hosting a fundraising day to invite all who knew him to come together as a community - to celebrate life, show support, and share memories about DJ.

In place of a traditional wake, the family wanted to create a day that focuses on togetherness; celebrating DJ’s life, the impact he had on so many people, and the community he was so much a part of.

We are fundraising in support of St David’s Hospice Care, which is currently helping our family through one of the hardest times. Our DJ lived the last 6 months with terminal lung cancer, and the care he has received has gone far beyond medical support alone. Hospice care offers comfort, dignity, and reassurance; not just for those facing a life-limiting illness, but for their loved ones too.

From managing pain and symptoms to offering emotional, social, and practical support, hospice teams are there when it matters most. They create a calm, welcoming environment where people are treated as individuals, not patients, and where families feel supported every step of the way.

Please help ensure that this incredible care can continue for others who need it now and in the future. We would love you to attend the fundraising day at MOT Monmouth and to make a donation, no matter the size, that will truly make a difference. Thank you for being part of this with us.
