“It’s Mind over matter”
Loving wife Lynsey and 2-year-old son Obi lost husband and father Spencer Chapman to bowel cancer when he was just 43 years old.
With St Wilfrid’s bereavement support, they found the strength to organise 16 brave family members and friends to do a Leap4Love skydive in his memory last summer.
James Gibbens, Spencer’s friend said, “St Wilfrid’s Hospice looked after Spencer with great care in his final days. On the day of the jump we all reminded ourselves of Spencer’s favourite saying – it’s mind over matter!”
Together the brave group raised over £2500, enough to support over 20 hours of community nursing – enabling more families to receive expert care and compassion in their own home free of charge.
