A Tribute to Ron Haseman

Ron Haseman, a patient treated at the Haematology Unit, sadly passed away in February 2023 after a two-year battle with Myelodysplasia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

His family have raised £3,000 for SaTH Charity in loving memory of Ron.

His family said: “Instead of funeral flowers, we know that Ron would have loved to help raise funds to enable the Haematology Unit at the hospital to help more patients in the future.”

Jo Haseman, Ron’s wife of 25 years, said: “On behalf of Ron, and all the family, we would like to share our immense gratitude and sincere thanks to all the amazing nurses, who looked after Ron with such love and care.”

Reflecting on Ron’s time on the unit, Julie Gooding, a Clinical Nurse Specialist who had the privilege of treating him, said: “Ron brought a ray of sunshine with him whenever he came in for treatment. His energy and spirit were truly extraordinary.”

Ron was an accomplished storyteller and writer, having published three books. Ron wrote a poem called ‘I Am The Air’ that his wife Jo shared during his funeral, a poignant tribute to his spirit and legacy. You can read his poem here
