They are walking in memory of Gill’s dad Pete Hampshire, who passed away on Valentine’s Day this year at Saint Catherine’s.

Gill said: “This was our first experience of Saint Catherine’s and we found that they really look after the family as well as the patient. Our main reason for doing the walk is to give something back.

“When we were at the hospice, it was lovely to be able to look at the gardens with all the birds and wildlife. We felt very well looked after.”
