What is a Forget Me Not Fund?
You can set up a Forget Me Not Fund whether
or not your loved one received care from St Richard’s Hospice.
Why I support St Richard’s Hospice in memory of
a loved one..
When my beloved Alan died I needed to focus on
doing something worthwhile in his memory so that
he was never forgotten and to make us all feel that
something good could come out of this tragic time.
I started his Forget Me Not Fund to raise money
for the hospice in his memory. Our challenges
provided the focus, not only for me, but for Andrew
and Lizzie, our children, Alan’s siblings and our
wonderful friends, who were
all feeling his loss.
What a rewarding time we
have had! Not only doing the
challenges but also the
fundraising, as we watched
his Forget Me Not Fund
grow to an amazing amount.
