Ann “Ringing The Bell”

Ann Purvey Ringing The Bell 17MAR23

Everyone’s cancer journey is different and the volunteer team at Berwick Cancer Cars proudly stand alongside those affected by cancer in our very special community, doing what we can to help through our free hospital transport service.

We were delighted to receive a touching message from Sarah Short to say that her mum, Ann Purvey, had “Rang The Bell” at the end of her cancer treatments. So we put together a wee video from the footage that Sarah kindly shared with us and who said of her mum “mam is an amazing lady, all her family love her so much”.

Berwick Cancer Cars are so pleased to have been able to help and support Ann and her family in their cancer journey 💛❤️💛 thank you to all our incredible supporters who continue to help us achieve this.

Berwick Cancer Cars provides free hospital transport to those with a cancer diagnosis living in Berwick & District, to enable them to reach their cancer related appointments to our regional hospitals and for specialist cancer treatment further afield. For assistance please call our Transport Booking Line 07780 795244 to speak to one of our volunteer coordinators.

We invite you to visit our Facebook post to view the video : https://fb.watch/jr34fPjNvu/
