The Peter Dwyer Music Therapy Fund has been created to perpetuate Pete's memory by continuing his great work with terminally ill patients at Caritas Christi.
Pete was an awesome musician who donated his time to bring music to cancer patients in palliative care. With his darling wife Shirl we are raising money to enable his work to continue.
There will also be an event (sorry sold out) and a silent auction - see below
