Aprašymas

How often have you longed for a better world only to be discouraged by a never-ending list of, if only?

So often we tell ourselves, if only we had more money, power, knowledge or influential friends, then we could really make a difference.

Mary Butterwick, OBE, had none of those things, yet against all odds she followed her dream to provide better care for people with life-limiting illnesses and their families - care that she and her late husband, John were heartbreakingly denied.

At an age when she might have retired, she not only brought hospice care to North East England, but helped to change hearts about how special the time at the end of one's life can be. To Mary, a hospice is not simply somewhere we go to die, but somewhere we can enjoy living to the last.

Her inspiring story encourages us to search, to question and to wrestle with the implications of what we say and do every day. It challenges each of us to really live until we die and to have faith that one person, no matter what age or circumstance, can help to create a better world.
