Ronnie has been a familiar sight in the village for many years moving, usually at speed in her sports car or on foot, between her home in Helmdon Road and a whole range of voluntary occupations, including frequent work at the Village Shop and Post Office. Her regular voluntary work for the Katherine House Hospice has always been close to her heart, about which she writes as follows:
“I have been a volunteer at Katharine House Hospice for many years and joined in several fundraising events so, hopefully, my 80th birthday ‘skydive’ challenge will raise some more, much needed, funds for this wonderful charity.
Katharine House Hospice provides specialist palliative care for adults with life-limiting conditions. This amazing team supports both the patient and their loved ones too, in warm, comforting, environment, ensuring that every moment matters. Your donation will mean more people can receive this care”.
She describes her forthcoming adventure (with typical modesty) as follows:
April 23rd, weather permitting, will see Ronnie, falling gracefully into her octogenarian years, doing a tandem skydive, and along side her,
to make sure she jumps, will be daughter Suzi and grandson Ed.
Ronnie’s challenge is to raise money for Katharine House Hospice,
so what better way to celebrate her
80th Birthday.
