A fitting tribute.A COUPLE drew inspiration from the loss of their daughter to cancer at the age of just 16. Ged and Julie Hoburn pledged to help North East children who are suffering from the disease after seeing the respite care Respite Care Short-term or temporary care of a few hours or weeks of the sick or disabled to provide relief, or respite, to the regular caregiver, usually a family member. Notes: daughter Sara received before her death.

To realise their ambition of giving youngsters a break in the sun, they faced a target of pounds 130,000 - a sizeable one given the economic situation and a number of other deserving causes. But, once again, thanks to the hard work of Mr and Mrs Hoburn and their supporters, the North East public has dug deep and made the respite dream a reality. The pounds 130,000 is now secured and the family's thoughts will now turn to gaining input for youngsters and taking these ideas to their architect. The couple's fundraising campaign has really gained momentum, with Coleen Nolan on board as a patron and plans to raise a further pounds 20,000 by Christmas. We are sure they will continue do Sara's memory proud in the future, but today they stand well on the way to creating a fitting tribute to their daughter who was taken from them so tragically. |
