I first became involved with St Michael’s Hospice at the very beginning in 1987. I set up a volunteer fundraising committee called The Friends of St Michael’s Hospice to help raise the funds to build the hospice. The Friends committee still exists today and every year we organise numerous fundraising events and also spread the word about the hospice throughout the county. It’s a truly wonderful place that shows people how to live during their final years, months, and days. It’s been my life’s work, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been so closely involved in such a special place.
