Tribute Fund

Family and friends climb the “Three Peaks”. Sally Steele lost her husband, Keith, to Cancer in August 2005 when Keith died at St Raphael’s Hospice. In the same year, close family friend Hillie Ashby also lost her husband to cancer; he was cared for by St Peter’s and St James Hospice in Sussex. Between them they raised over £12,000 which supported the two hospices plus Cancer Research.
