Being a funeral director, we care for quite a lot of people that have passed away in a hospice, sometimes people will arrange their funeral in advance with us, when they know their diagnosis is terminal.  Being an ambassador of this charity means a lot to me, I have become more aware of what they do and feel I will be able to help Purple Heart Wishes to enter the local spiritus mundi, raise more awareness and funding and give me the opportunity to help grant wishes, to those people who really need it.
