ness my dad underwent stent surgery, six months of chem­ otherapy, emergency opera­ tions and constantly battled to eat properly. “Numerous stays at the


hospital via A&E were stress­ ful and, at times, worsened dad’s condition. By January this year he could barely eat or drink at all. “Mum, who had cared for


him so well, was desperate and didn’t know where to turn. It was suggested dad should go to the hospice in Blackburn. “To say dad wasn’t keen


would be an understatement - ‘that’s where people go to die, if I go in I won’t come out’, he said and we all had those thoughts. “I’m glad to say we were

fear and the tears the hospice staff were discreetly there for us. They gave us the strength to get through his final hours. “Even after he had passed


away, the nurses treated him,, and us, with unrushed dignity and respect." “Every day East Lancashire


Hospice needs to raise a stag­ gering £8,200 to care for the people of Blackburn, Darwen,


Hyndburn and Ribble Valley. They offermorethanjust sup­ portive and end of life care in the hospice - they offer care at home, creative and support therapy, symptom control, be­ reavement support and much more. We have so far raised £475 and are still accepting donations. “My main hope is that in


sharing this very personal sto­ ry, people will become aware that the hospice offers holistic care to people at all stages of terminal illness not just end of life - something we wish we had known.” •Donations to the sisters’ cause can be made at www.

St Mary Magdalene’s, said: “It's great that we shouldbeable to celebrate our church’s patron with both our own choir and the choir of Knaresborough
