Family tackle Yorkshire Three Peaks in memory of Gavin Ward

Family and friends of Gavin Ward have taken on the Yorkshire Three Peaks in his memory and raised an incredible amount of £5,352 for Hospice care.
 
Last summer, Gavin Ward sadly died at our Hospice at just 45 years old. The family wanted to show their support and gratitude for the wonderful care they received so decided to take on the Yorkshire Three Peaks to raise money in Gavin’s memory.
 
The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres). On the day of the challenge, family, friends and pets were not put off by the terrible weather and battled through the rain to keep going.
 
Gavin’s dad, Clive said: “The care and devotion that Gavin received while he was at the Hospice from all the staff; medical, kitchen and housekeeping was unbelievable and we are so proud of being able to raise such a fantastic amount of money.”
 
Legacy and In Memory Fundraiser, Emma Dunnill said: “The passion and dedication that Gavin’s family and friends have shown through their fundraising is absolutely remarkable. By raising such a huge amount, they have been able to fund the equivalent of over one week’s stay in Incare for a patient, helping us continue to be there for more local people and their families. It has been a pleasure getting to know and working with the family in Gavin’s memory.”
 
We’d like to thank Gavin’s family, friends and everyone who made a donation for their wonderful support so we can continue to deliver.
