When Michael’s dad, Ken, walked through the doors in early December “you could see he was physically relieved to be there. Whilst he was at Cransley, as far as he could be, he was back to himself, cracking (bad) jokes and playing tricks on the hospice staff and his visitors. You could tell he felt safe and comfortable at the hospice which made it easier for us. We knew that he was looked after and that whenever we left him, we felt reassured that the staff were around, and he wouldn’t feel alone.”
Michael and his family have continued to support Cransley Hospice Trust through their fundraising; cycling, running, abseiling, and holding quiz nights in Ken’s name. As a family they have made a huge difference to end of life care for other families who find themselves in a similar situation, and have now raised over £55,000.
