THERE is just one week to go until The Myton Hospices’ Butterfly Effect takes flight.
The fundraiser, running from Friday July 26 until Sunday August 11, will see 1,000 locally crafted, red metal butterflies on display at a special installation at Coughton Court near Alcester.
Each butterfly will represent a loved one who has died and people are invited to make their own dedication in exchange for a donation.
Myton supporter Nadia Savag, is remembering her sister Nasra who was cared for by the Myton at Home team.
She said: “We can’t thank the Myton team enough, as they provided personal care to my sister during a time when the family were in a state of shock and disbelief, witnessing our beloved Nasra’s deteriorating health. They came in smiling and their smiles and kindness really meant a lot under such extreme emotional pressures the family were faced with. The team always asked how we were doing and we felt valued as family members. They were brilliant at making sure Nasra was as comfortable as possible.”
Myton, which has hospices in Warwick, Coventry and Rugby, is hoping to raise £75,000 from this campaign to fund the recruitment, training and salary of a registered nurse for 18 months.
