Mick Lunney

A bereaved mother from Barnsley, inspired by the compassionate support she received from Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice after the death of her newborn son, retrained as a nurse and now works at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. The hospice provided equipment and emotional support that allowed her family to spend time with the baby at home, an experience she says shaped her approach to compassionate care. Hospice staff praised her determination to give back to her community through her new career.
