They will be painting themselves all the colours of the rainbow in memory of two special people – Chris and Patricia who were cared for by Trinity nurses.
Letitia says: “My grandad Chris was funny and caring, he absolutely loved us grandchildren and his dog Kane.
“We’d always go to visit him for a roast - his potatoes were the best!
“Trintiy looked after him at home before he got a bed in the hospice. It helped my mum massively as she was caring for him as well as her own disabled daughter. It was also nice to know he was comfortable and not struggling by himself.”
Freya says: “My Grandma Patricia was a lovely person. She was very hardworking and honest. She was loyal to her friends and loved her grandchildren.
“When she needed them, the nurses and doctors at Trinity were incredibly caring and respectful to her. “
Just knowing how much Trinity meant to her friends is what drives Lillie to raise as much as possible for local hospice care.
She says: “I know how much Trinity meant to Letitia and Freya and their families. Their loved ones were cared for so well at the end of their lives.”
Lititia adds: “This event is so meaningful to us all. I’ll be thinking of Grandad the whole time; he was such an active person, he would be out every day walking his dog and was so independent, but towards the end of his life his illness took his mobility away from him.
“I’m proud to be acting as his legs and being active for him just like he used to do. Every step I take will be for him.”
