Rebecca is a passionate advocate for the work of the NHS, across specialities of Oncology, Renal and Neurology as well as supporting the work of charities who fund vital research into the scientific treatments for associated conditions and diseases, alongside offering support for patients and their families. She has advocated for better Mental Health services across the UK, raising over 85,000 for the HOPE room initiative set up in 2018 from her first book One Day At A Time. NHS Blood and Transplant Services remain her focus as she wishes to use her experiences to support others throughout transplantation.
For every copy of EASE sold, 50% goes to support families facing this difficult journey.
Rebecca actively delivers through her faith and supports patients across all departments through the Chaplaincy Services within her local hospital. Professionally, Rebecca's career is within the NHS in her beloved field and favourite medical speciality, Ophthalmology where she takes great pride in serving her patients with love and kindness. Ever grateful for when she gets to wear her lanyard, and not the gown.
Rebecca's children are now adults. She was blessed to see her son graduate from university in 2022 and her daughter shall graduate in 2025. These moments never once believed she would be there to witness. With each day, she remains full of gratitude for her donor's gift granting her life on extra time and God's grace throughout.
With her husband David by her side, their joint expeditions have continued with further trips high above the Arctic Circle and beyond, raising money for charities on many occasions. Using her gift of life to live each day well, she is steadfast and focused on her purpose to help others whilst honouring her donors legacy by living life to its fullest.
