Meet Ron, our 2023 Big Car Raffle Winner!
A long-time supporter of St Oswald’s Hospice, Mr Ron George has been entering the raffle for 20 years – and has recently become an outpatient at the Hospice, receiving care with Lymphoedema.
Mr George has expressed his gratitude for the exceptional care and support he has received at St Oswald’s Hospice: “It’s been a lifeline, and has really helped me get well again and to continue living my life. The staff are wonderful, and the care really is exceptional.
“We have been aware of St Oswald’s for many years and have supported it throughout that time. The difference the Hospice makes to people’s lives is indescribable and it’s our pleasure to continue supporting their work, it’s so important for people in our local area and we need to keep it going.
In a commendable display of generosity, Mr George, who no longer drives, has sold the prize car back to Bristol Street Motors and has furthered his steadfast support for St Oswald’s Hospice by making substantial donations to both the Hospice and its dedicated Lymphoedema Service, which is the largest of its kind in the North East.
Mr George added: “We’re making a donation back to St Oswald’s Hospice. The rest of the money will be split between two or three local charities, who need help this winter. We’ve always supported local causes and it’s important to us to continue helping where we can, to make a difference to those in need.”
