Such a sad week since we received news of the passing of Steve Bernard (Bernie), a most wonderful man and a dedicated husband, father, relative and friend. He really was a great inspiration and loved dearly by all those who knew him.  Mesothelioma was the terrible disease which, for two years, he has fought so desperately.

During Steve's illness, the nursing staff at the Hospice in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk - St Nicholas have been so wonderful during the time he was treated (four times) and they were there for him, night and day treating him and looking after his family with endless kindness and compassion.

Unfortunately, St Nicholas Hospice generally are understaffed and have to work with sub-standard equipment. The pressure is relentless, yet the superb staff never show the strain.  Steve's family would like donations in order to be able to buy some much needed equipment for the Hospice wards. Rather than donate directly to the Trust, they want to raise money to benefit these amazing people directly. 

Steve's eldest son Lee Bernard, will be continuing his fund-raising for this wonderful Suffolk Hospice by competing in the Rat Race 'Dirty Weekender', the largest obstacle course in the world - 20 miles! Check out their website:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/steven-bernard

 THE BERNARD FAMILY AND FRIENDS THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
