Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</p> <p>This page is for Jonny, son, brother, husband, father and friend.</p> <p>We were looking forward to our summer holidays, when Jonathan had some back pain. Following a visit to the doctor,&nbsp;he was quickly and shockingly diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.</p> <p>From that moment in early July 2011, Jonathan began to feel the full effects of the disease.</p> <p>We'd been hopeful for chemotherapy, to help ease Jonathan's symptoms. However, he became ill&nbsp;very quickly and following time in hosptial, was moved to Kirkwood Hospice for his care.</p> <p>Jonathan passed in his sleep on the 28th September.</p> <p>The donations received on this site will go to Kirkwood Hospice. Each year they rely on charitable donations, in order to continue their work.</p> <p>Everyone's been very supportive to us, with many people&nbsp;asking if there's anything they can do to help.</p> <p>Well any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. This will go towards&nbsp;ensuring the fantastic work, carried out by all the staff, at Kirkwood Hospice continues.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
