Debbi Shotton, Rowcroft Community Fundraising Officer said: “This is such a wonderful way for William to honour his mum, and we are so grateful that he has chosen to support Rowcroft Hospice in this way. We rely heavily on voluntary donations to help us provide vital care and support to over 2,500 patients across South Devon every year. We simply couldn’t do it without people like William.”
