Raising Funds for Marie Curie
Sandra Richardson died at a Marie Curie Liverpool on Wed 25th August 2021. Sandra lived with Stage 4 breast cancer for 3 years and wanted to raise funds for Marie Curie Hospice in Liverpool who looked after her so profoundly. After spending her life working tirelessly in communities in Liverpool Sandra and her wife Clare wanted to help the doctors, nurses, all staff and patients where she is being cared for in Marie Curie. The funds went to building a beautiful rest and renew space for staff working 12 hour shifts. The staff healing room has transformed the days and nights of staff working at the hospice and they contact us regularly to tell us how it has made their lives much more comfortable and less stressful. The fundraising is in Sandras memory. We loved her deeply and continue to honour her legacy..
