Some of you may remember that Trinity Hospice recently asked for votes so that they could be considered for the NatWest funding initiative. Winners would receive just over £6,000.
This post is to thank those that took the time to vote and give you the updated news that Trinity DID win and have been granted the additional funding of £6,275 towards their community nurses. The community nurses help people in the local community cope with terminal illness - either in their own homes or if this becomes too difficult in the Hospice itself.
It is a service that at some point in the future I will be depending upon, so by helping them you're helping me - in the long term :)
I am so grateful to those who took the time to vote and also to those who have and who continue to support this cause via the Just Giving link to the left of this blog.
Remember one less pack of cards or one less roll of wrapping paper = a small donation to the Hospice
Many thanks again xxXxx
A blog about Rectal Cancer, and the roller-coaster it takes you on. No matter how sick you start to feel you just can't get off until it stops - one way or another - and in the meantime life goes on pretty much as normal. So this is a blog both about rectal cancer and life going on as normally as possible... :-) Please do feel free to leave comments, comments are great :-)
