Deidre and Lin's legacy of care and compassion
Deidre was an astute, eloquent and caring woman.
She was dedicated to supporting her MS community, as well as others with neurological conditions, so she became a volunteer counsellor at Royal Melbourne Hospital when she retired.
Sadly, after entering palliative care in the same hospital where she’d been a popular volunteer, Diedre died in 2020 – but her legacy of care and compassion will live on through a gift in her Will.
“Deidre wanted to plan for the future,” says her husband Lin. “We didn't have kids, so she suggested we leave money to charity and give back to MS Plus. It was a great idea.”
Could you be like Deidre and Lin, and leave a legacy of love for those living with MS?
