Leigh’s mum – Angie - was a Community Palliative Care Specialist at Dougie Mac for 19 years but passed away on the hospice In-patient unit after being diagnosed with cancer.
“My mum was kind and faultless. She was a very caring nurse and loved her job – she always put everyone first and was incredibly honest. When she was admitted into the hospice she was treated like a queen. The staff made sure she was comfortable and took the pressure off us meaning we could simply just be with her.
“It must’ve been very difficult for the staff to look after my mum as they were her friends and colleagues. Dougie Mac do such an amazing job – for everyone – and that’s why I want to raise money. I'm taking part in the 10k Run because I want to show them just how much they are appreciated.”
