Ernie Rowe
You can hear at various times across the week. She says:
"Care Radio offers me the chance to give something back to those going the extra mile every day.
"I’ve experienced first-hand the astonishing level of care given by so many remarkable people in our NHS, despite near-impossible circumstances and the lack of pop-star wages! They saved my mum 3 times, and always with kindness and dignity, to the end.
"The care and real friendship shown to my beautiful late husband, Mark, by his teams during 7 years of leukaemia was nothing short of incredible, and it’s because of the life-saving treatment I received after a heart attack last year that I’m here to tell the tale.
"I’m not sure having me chatting at them on the radio is in any way enough (or even kind!), but I’m so grateful to be here to have the opportunity to say a heartfelt ‘Thank you for caring’, from the bottom of my heart."
