2023 wasn’t the year I thought it was going to be. My Dad was diagnosed with cancer in May and after a short but brave battle passed away 13th June.

The last few weeks has been all new to us as a family, a lot of firsts without Dad which has been tough on my whole family. The support the Big C have given us has been amazing. From helping my Dad walk down the aisle at the hospital chapel so he could give my sister away on her wedding day, to sorting the reception in the Big C centre to just being there as a supportive ear, all the staff have been absolutely amazing.

I want to do something to show our appreciation, and I hope that you can help me to help them
