On 9th October 2018 all our worlds changed forever. Tony Hopper aged 42 died of Motor Neurone disease leaving behind his three boys and wife Sue. Tony was a very much loved Son, Uncle, Brother and Friend amongst many other titles, but above all else he was a very special, loving and warm person. There are few people who make an impact like Tony did in his short life and anyone who knew him, was proud to know him. I for one am extremely proud to have classed him as a friend.

It was Tony’s wish that any fundraising was aimed at Eden Valley Hospice. Motor neurone is a cruel disease. There are not many places that can deal with the complex care that is required, we are so lucky to have this on our doorstep. Please donate as every donation matters so supporting us even in a small way will make a huge difference.
