Alan and Marian's story

For us, supporting the hospice is our way of saying “thank you” for the care and support shown to our daughter, Debbie, in the final weeks of her life, and to us as a family too.

One of the most meaningful ways we remember Debbie is through her leaf on the Keech Memory Tree. Knowing it’s there — a lasting tribute to the love and care she received — gives us a special place to return to, reflect, and feel close to her.

More recently, we added a second leaf to the Memory Tree for our other daughter, Emma. Although she was not cared for by Keech Hospice, it means the world to us that her leaf now sits beside her sister’s. Seeing their leaves together brings us comfort and a sense of unity, knowing both our girls are remembered side by side.

We know the hospice relies on supporters like us for 70% of the funds they need to keep caring for families like ours. It’s important for us to support Keech in any way we can, helping ensure they’re able to provide the same compassionate care to other families who will need it.

Alan and Marian, proud supporters of Keech Hospice
