Why We Do What We Do
Lake Health and Wellbeing has been set up in loving memory of all the Lakes we’ve lost too soon due to health challenges, in particular Thomas Lake, John Lake, Marina Lake, Walter Lake, Joan Lake and Patricia Lake-Oquaye.
We believe that no family should lose their loved ones prematurely due to preventable health conditions.
