Sarah has spent time with her family at the Hospice, and continued doing the things she loved
“It’s not in human nature to accept that you’re going to die, but we all will one day. Unfortunately, I’ve been given a head start. So, I need to make every day count. I’ve done that so far. The Hospice organised a spa day for my daughter and I, in the summer house, and a family dinner. The volunteers and staff got involved and made these things happen for me and my family. And friends of my son really wanted to do something for me and came up with a wonderful idea. Jack and David are currently touring the UK in Dad’s Army Radio Show and they came to do a performance for me, my family and friends, and anyone else at the Hospice. It was brilliant.
I’ve always loved doing crafts and over the last few years my best friend Ivy and I have been crafting non-stop. Although we thought we would have many more years together creating, we are now coming up with lots of exciting things to donate to the Hospice Christmas Market, and more. We have fundraised for the Hospice in a few different ways now. I want to say thank you and helping others has always been important to me. When I was referred to the Hospice, I asked my consultant whether anyone else might need the room more than me. The Hospice has provided a light for me at one of the darkest times, and my donations will help them do that for others too. Donating to the Christmas market is particularly special. Making things that people will use to celebrate Christmas is a very positive way to support the Hospice and do something I enjoy.”
