Donations to Leamington and Whitnash Trees of Light will help patients like Adrian and their families

Donations to the Leamington Spa Rotary Club’s Trees of Light campaign will help Myton Hospices’ patients like Adrian and their families.

He had been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer at the end of November 2021 which seemed especially cruel as he had just started to live his life again after caring for his wife who had Alzheimer’s for ten years.

He was cared for at the Myton Hospice in Warwick before he died there in February this year.

His daughter Jo said: “Dad couldn’t take any more and had given up.

"The transformation when he arrived at Myton was unbelievable, he was still very poorly but the team of doctors and nurses quickly managed to get his pain under control, he was able to eat and he was my dad again.

"We gained so much comfort knowing the staff cared so deeply.

"We can never thank Myton enough for all they did for dad and for us as a family.”
