I’m walking Moonlight Walk 2021 for St. Wilfrid’s in memory of my husband, Tony. He died in February, 14 months after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. Because of Covid most of that time was spent at home with only me for company. We were really sad that we couldn’t access any of the activities the hospice usually offers to support people with life limiting illnesses. Tony really liked the sound of reflexology and I would have liked someone else to make me a cup of tea!

And why there may be more reasons to make one than you realise…

St Wilfrid’s were a wonderful part of our lives and it was very timely that the DREAMBUILDING Project was well underway – there was no better way for me to be able to make a valued contribution than through my work. I held an Exhibition of drawings and paintings at Farbridge, West Dean, in June 2017. A few months later my daughter, Rosie, organised a Charity Cricket match on the Anniversary of his death and between us we were able to make a substantial contribution.
