Kim was unfortunately diagnosed with Leukaemia in April 2015, after responding extremely well to chemotherapy treatment, Kim underwent a stem cell transplant. Sadly Kim was diagnosed with an extreme case of Graft Versus Host Disease in late November 2015. After a valiant battle, surprising every doctor and nurse looking after Kim with just how much fight Kim had, he unfortunately was fighting a losing battle, and sadly passed away peacefully on Monday 11th January 2016, surrounded by his family.

Kim was an incredible man, loved by everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him. A devoted husband, a much loved son, a loving dad and grandad, a dear brother, and a great friend to so many.

In Kim's memory I would like to raise money for research into Leukaemia at Bournemouth Hospital. All donations welcome.

I am going to totally have all my hair shaved off and just look like a massive baby, and with the thickness of my hair the floor will look like it's just been carpeted after.
