Mum was diagnosed with cancer of the bile duct in December 2014. Bile duct cancer or 'cholangiocarcinoma' has no obvious symptoms, and is often found when it is already at a very advanced stage. It is an aggressive, hard to treat cancer. The care and support from Phyllis Tuckwell is indescribable, they held our hands through every moment and we could not be more thankful.
Phyllis Tuckwell is the only Hospice Care service for adult patients, and their families, living with cancer or another terminal illness (such as heart, lung or neurological disease) across the whole of West Surrey and part of North East Hampshire. For over 35 years we have provided supportive and end of life care to local people, serving 550,000 residents. 2016 we took part in the Santa fun run in Aldershot :)
Out first year with joining in the Tuckwell's Christmas Lights Tour where thanks to your donations we reached a staggering £775 - THANK YOU!
This year we changed to support AMMF and thanks to your generosity broke the £500 mark again
2018 was an amazing year for us, breaking the £500 mark meaning that we have now had over £1,000 of donations for charity.
2017 was the second year we ran this and we included the newly made wishing well out the front. Unfortunately it was stolen on the 12th day of Christmas and emptied before being dumped in Cove brook.
2016 was the first year we attempted a music light Christmas show, and was a huge learning curve. But with your help and generosity we raised just under £320 for charity! The show consisted of the arches and mini-trees only, with the snowmen playing the music.
