FOREWORD
by Robin Waterfield
My association with the remarkable author of this remarkable book came about through the kindness of another remarkable woman, Sister Frances Dominica of All Saints, Sisters of the Poor, through whose vision and persistence Helen House, the first hospice for children with life-threatening illnesses, came into existence.
The sisters had given my wife and me friendship and a place to live some years before this, and we were part of what they called their extended community. Another beneficiary of their friendship and support was Chris Kitch.
