This summer, The Myton Hospices Butterfly Effect will be celebrating the lives of our loved ones who are no longer with us in a unique and special way with a brand-new heartfelt installation taking flight at Coughton Court, National Trust property, in Alcester.
Taking place between Friday 26th July until Sunday 11th August 2024, The Butterfly Effect will see more than 1,000 locally crafted, red, metal butterflies displayed on the beautiful grounds of Coughton Court.
Each butterfly will represent a loved one who is sadly no longer with us and we invite you to make a dedication of your own and make a donation in return for your very own butterfly, so that you can take home a small part of this poignant display.
Tom, Cass and Percy are supporting The Butterfly Effect in memory of their beloved wife and mum, Katie. Katie was cared for at Warwick Myton Hospice and died on 17th June 2023, aged just 37 years old.
Tom said:
It’s very difficult to put into words but our experience was unbelievable. The consistency of the care and how well both Katie and our family were treated was impressive. Of course the excellent care we received is the main factor of hospice care, but the little things meant so much more to us. It felt like nothing was too hard or inconvenient.
We had takeaway nights, parties and friends and family were surrounding us constantly. We never felt like we had to ask for anything, it was almost encouraged for us to do these things as nothing was too difficult.
We even managed to go to a local pub a couple of times and see Cass play football for the last time. Yes, the medical side was exceptional, but it’s these really little things that I will remember forever.
It is said that the smallest movement of a butterfly’s wings has the power to change the weather on the other side of the world. At Myton, we are certain by that, by the same token, small acts of support have the power to make a big difference.
We passionately believe that everyone matters for every single moment of their life, and, by supporting each other, we can come together to create something amazing – this belief is at the heart of everything we do. It’s our very own butterfly effect.
We are hoping to raise £75,000 from this campaign to fund the recruitment, training and salary of a registered nurse for 18 months. We hope you will join us and become part of The Butterfly Effect so we can be there for more people like Katie, Tom, Cass and Percy, who need our support, now and in the future.
