Mum's Last Wish
Our Mum's last wish to raise enough money for a high-flow oxygen ventilator for Cheltenham General Hospital. One of these amazing machines was crucial to her treatment in her final few weeks, providing her with precious time to spend with us, her children, and say a final goodbye to friends and family.
Currently the hospital only has two machines, one in ICU and one in the Acute Care Unit where Mum spent her final weeks. If we could raise the money for just one more it would make a huge difference to many future patients.

Mum affectionately named her high-flow machine 'Arthur' - short for half-a-lung. It provided her with over 50 litres of humidified oxygen per hour, without the invasiveness of intubation. This gave her the comfort and strength that she needed towards the end.
Instead of bringing flowers, money or other gifts to our Mum's funeral, please donate to this page in her memory. Together we can honour her final wish and provide the same precious moments for others in the future.
