Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My Nan was a remarkable woman, filled with love, joy and happiness which was infectious to those she met. Her unforgettable stories and hilarious sense of humour meant that no matter who met her, they’d fall in love with her. She lived a long and successful life to which I know she was more than happy with, alongside her husband. My Nan will always be that someone that people cannot forget, she’d either make you laugh when your sad and need a shoulder to lean on or help you get through a situation by giving the best honest advice (however much it annoyed me with her always being right)
For those that know me, (Lana) Nan has been like a mum to me the past few years. She’s also been a best friend to me (imessaging me on her IPhone at 84 like she was one of the girls was her favourite thing to do) She’s picked me up when I’ve been down and knocked me down off my high horse when she’s needed to. She’s taught me life lessons I will never forget and taught me what it’s like to have someone who means the absolute world to you and more. I will be eternally grateful for everything she’s done for me and in return I will do all I can to make her as proud as I can. Words will never explain how much she will always mean to me and how much I love her.
Sadly, Nan was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer in June after a long year of being severely unwell. Being the tough cookie she is, she fought until the very end and I can honestly say I’m so proud of how far we came together.
I know Nan would never want any other family to suffer the way we have for the past 8 months, Cancer is a cruel disease and will hopefully one day be overcome by human spirit. Nan didn’t believe in flowers or gifts when she died, she wanted something worthwhile as almost a legacy to her.
So whether you knew my nan or not, a small donation to Cancer Research UK I know would be her last wish. So that one day, all the donations however big or small will mean that a family will not have to suffer due to this cruel disease like my Nan has endured and my family and I have had to witness.
Thank you for reading and please donate as much as you can in memory of my wonderful Nan, I know I speak for her as well when I say ‘Thank You’ for all the ongoing support.
