My story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page in memory of our brother Graham Newstead.

Graham was diagnosed with advanced terminal lung cancer/secondary cancer to liver, kidneys and bones on 11th September 2008. Unfortunately at this late stage of the illness only palliative care was available and Graham was given 3-4 months life expectancy; Graham only survived 5 weeks and passed away on 14th October 2008. We told Graham that we were hoping to get into the London Marathon and raise money for charity - so this is for him x

Graham was only 44, active and a non-smoker, which has made it even harder to understand how he got this horrible cancer. Graham leaves behind his wife Helen; stepson Michael; mum and dad and us.

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the world and is known as the "invisible" or "forgotten" disease. Lung cancer receives only 3.9% of cancer research funding made available by the government and other cancer charities. The Roy Castle Foundation is dedicated only to defeating lung cancer so any sponsorship received will be fantastic.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Alternatively if you prefer not to donate online you can via a sponsorship form - please see either of us.

Your sponsorship will mean so much to Graham's family and friends.

Update: Julie finished London in 3hrs 48 mins & Debs in 4hrs 14mins. We will be running Edinburgh Marathon on 31st May 2009....

Thank you
