<p>Last year I wasn't too well and ended up having to travel to Leeds Hospital every day for 6 weeks for treatment.&nbsp; By coincidence Will Burns, the son of some very good friends, was also there having the same treatment, under the same consultant.</p> <p>The treatment was very aggressive and Will and I use to sit in the waiting room together trying to cheer each other up and both looking forward to the day when it would be over!</p> <p>The treatment finished in February 2010 and after a few months I was very fortunate and started to recover my health.&nbsp; Sadly Will fell ill that May and tragically died on the 31st August 2010 just two days before his thirtieth birthday.</p> <p>Between May and the end of August Will was cared for by St. Leonard's Hospice&nbsp;by Home Nurses which meant he was able to remain throughout with his family.</p> <p>One year on, I and others will be undertaking a sponsored walk in the Lake District in Great Langdale, which was one of Will's favourite walks.&nbsp; All the money raised from the walk will be in aid of St Leonard's Hospice in recognising the fantastic contribution they make at such a difficult time in people's lives.</p> <p>I do hope you will be able to support this very worthy cause as well as being a tribute to the life of&nbsp;this wonderful young man.</p> <p>Thank you so much for your support.</p> <p>Bill</p>
