In 2011 Florence and Joes dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite surgery and chemotherapy after 6 months his prognosis became terminal and his health deteriorated quickly. In a time of utter disbelief and confusion, the Pilgrim’s hospice became our sanctuary - providing practical, mental and spiritual support, it was a quiet, dignified and safe place for us to be together as a family in our final weeks. 

There was a garden for the children to play in, bright rooms with balconies, a living area and kitchen, doctors, nurses and a variety of therapists available around the clock  - I still can not believe this organisation is entirely free at point of use yet wholly funded by private sponsorship. 

I am eternally grateful for the care they showed Run and my children and it is my pleasure to raise funds to thank them for this care.

Please help floss and joe to raise money for this worthy charity, here’s how:
