A walk for Bernadette

In August 2019, Bernadette, a much loved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend sadly passed away. On her second anniversary, her friends and family plan to come together to have a walk in her memory. Bernadette is remembered for her kindness and for the encouragement she gave to others. She was a gifted and inspirational teacher, fondly remembered by the pupils and families of Lurgancahone Primary School. A walk for Bernadette will raise money for Southern Area Hospice Services, a charity who have had their funding reduced significantly during the pandemic. Bernadette enjoyed walking and she had an appreciation of nature which often inspired her artwork.

Southern Area Hospice Services provide invaluable care and support to patients and their families with life limiting illnesses. Its aim is to enhance the quality of life for patients by providing a range of services. These are available in an Inpatient Unit in Newry, Day Hospice Units in Newry and Dungannon, Outpatient Clinics in Newry, Dungannon and Craigavon, a Palliative Care Team in Daisy Hill and Craigavon Area Hospitals, Bereavement Support Services and The Donaldson Counselling & Therapy Centre.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this charity and we look forward to coming together for our walk in August.
