Viviene and her family took part in the 2010 Moonlight Memory Walk in memory of her beloved son Anton Johnson who tragically died in December 2009 of a brain tumour aged just 23, the family & friends raised a fantastic amount of £716.00.
“My son Anton attended Nottinghamshire Hospice's Daycare facility on Woodborough Road, Nottingham. The Hospice not only provided Anton with the nursing and spiritual care he required, but also provided emotional support for our family to help us cope during his illness, and they continue to provide their support to me since his death. I would encourage anyone to take part in the Moonlight Memory Walk, it’s a wonderful experience”

This is a letter we received from Anton's youngest sister Lisha after taking part in the walk.
To all my friends at the Nottinghamshire Hospice,
I would just like to thank you for the opportunity you gave us to take part in the Moonlight Memory Walk to raise much needed funds for the hospice and in memory of my dearest brother Anton.
It was a very special moment for all of us and one me and my family will never forget.
Also, I would like to thank you for all the care and support you gave to Anton and my family.
Love
Anton's youngest sister,
