I am fundraising for the Lister hospital to thank them for the care they continue to give for our community.
Terry Sofflet passed away suddenly on 30th December 2018. It was his wish to not to have flowers at his funeral, but instead to have donations to a chosen charity.
im fundraising because the butterfly service looked after my dad while he was ill with cancer just before christmas
I am doing this abseiling challenge to help raise money to support the butterfly service - which is very close to my heart. I am a palliative care clinical nurse specialist at lister hospital and the butterflies really make a difference to the care at the end of a patient’s life and the family. I am doing this for all the patients I’ve cared for and to see how far and I can challenge myself x
As I approach my 40th birthday I've decided its time I got of my ever increasing bottom and gave something back to the local community. What better way to start then by Abseiling down the Lister Hospital to raise funds for The Butterfly Service. While I'm really excited to have a go, there is no denying I'm terrified of heights and may need a little push! or failing that the incentive of a nice pot of money raised for this great charity when I complete.
As a Butterfly volunteer myself, I recognise the importance of what we do. We offer a calm, caring and gentle support to patients at the end of their life. Please help us to ensure this vital service continues and grows.
The East and North Hertfordshire Hospital's Charity is our 2019 Charity of the Year!
I have decided to do this fundraiser for the maternity sector as they have helped and supported me through the pregnancies and births of my two boys and they were amazing.
