Story

The Walk For Carol Will Take Place On The 10th July 2011 Starting At 11am From The Bideford Station To Fremington Quay

 

Carol Ann Roach was a beautiful, kind, loving, caring, generous person who always put others before herself. Nine and a half years ago she learned she had breast cancer and battled so hard and bravely to beat it. During her illness she underwent five operations, had chemotherapy three times and radiotherapy once. So often in constant pain she made it so easy for others to be around her and everyone who were lucky enough to know Carol, just loved her so very much. She loved going out for weekend walks with her husband Dave, it could be a coast path walk, one out in the country or even a walk along a disused railway line. During the second week of October 2010, Carol and Dave enjoyed a wonderful week of walking and visiting so many interesting places. It was shortly after this that Carol started to become very ill and yet she continued to fight and do all in her power to win her battle against the cancer. Carol and Dave would talk about their comeback walk they would do once Carol was well enough to do it. On the 11th October 2010 a day Carol  was racked in pain but not prepared to let the cancer stop her from doing what she loved doing; she walked the disused railway line between Torrington and Bideford with her husband Dave by her side. The comeback walk was going to be part two of the railway walk from Bideford Station to Fremington Quay. Sadly Carol lost her brave fight on the 8th April 2011. Carols husband Dave, Carol’s sons and all her family will be doing the planned comeback walk in honour of the very beautiful Carol. They want to raise as much money as possible in her name for breast cancer research so that hopefully one day this killer disease will be a thing of the past. Also doing the walk will be friends and work colleagues of Carol and TFF members. We the family of Carol invite everyone who would like to join us on The Walk For Carol.
