Hazel was creative, caring, and always thinking of others. Even after her terminal diagnosis, she found ways to give back, from fundraising, to crafting handmade gifts for those she loved. In her final months, St Margaret’s Hospice became a haven of peace, comfort, and compassion. Her story is at the heart of our Every Moment Counts appeal.
