Episode 4: John Crane | The Hospice Heart Podcast

A husband, father, grandfather and lifelong people-person, John speaks with remarkable honesty about adapting to life with an incurable condition while remaining determined to focus on what matters most.

Listeners will hear about his experiences of hospice care, the friendships and support networks that have helped him along the way, and why he believes Saint Francis Hospice is so much more than many people realise.

Throughout the episode, John challenges common misconceptions about both motor neurone disease and hospice care, sharing how kindness, dignity and community have shaped his journey. His reflections on family, resilience and making the most of every day offer a powerful reminder of the importance of living well, whatever challenges life may bring.
