Kelby Malkin has been a loyal supporter of Bolton Hospice since his very first fundraiser in 2012, hosting a charity auction and raffle to raise vital funds for Bolton Hospice in memory of his Grandad Barry Wallace.

Over the last 9 years Kelby, along with the fantastic support of his friends, family, colleagues and local community, has carried out a range of fundraisers with an annual event of some kind each year to thank the hospice for the care provided to Barry, and to keep his loving memory alive.

“It’s been a pleasure to carry out the fundraising in so many ways. The way the hospice treated my Grandad before his passing was amazing. I never really knew what the hospice was prior to visiting. With my friends and family we have held many events over the years, including climbing Mount Toubkal in Morocco in November 2019 which raised £620 to help the hospice. Each and every year we do something in memory of my Grandad's care.”

Kelby also shows his support by playing our lottery, taking part in our events, organising his own events and taking on sponsored challenges with his friends and family. In total Kelby has raised almost £18,000 for Bolton Hospice and with his support, we can continue to care for even more local people just like his Grandad Barry Wallace, and their loved families too.
