My story

 
Alexandra Jane Locke lost her battle with skin cancer on September 21st 2008 at the age of 38. She left a husband, 3 small children and a family and friends who miss her terribly.

A Tribute To Alex can be found at www.alexlocke.co.uk

Although few positives have come from Alex’s death a charitable fund has been set up in her memory that supports a number of worthy causes including

    MacMillan Nurses – who provided comfort and practical support to Alex, Simon and the family in the weeks before Alex died. The Maggie Centre at Singleton Hospital One of a number of support centres for patients, their carers, family and friends.  Icon, the Cancer Active publication that is circulated in hospitals and provides patients with impartial information on cancer issues.
A number of mad people have kindly given up their spare time to run the Cardiff Half marathon on October 18th 2009 in aid of the Maggie Centre in Swansea one of the charities supported by Alex’ s charitable fund.  All proceeds from the run will go directly to the Maggie centre and our aim is to raise £2000.
