As many of you know, My beautiful loving wife Tracy recently passed away after a battle against Melanoma. Tracy was a lovely wife, mother , daughter and friend of many with a huge personality, infectious laugh and zest for life who touched the hearts of all who knew her. 

All through her battle against this awful disease she never complained and always looked out for others - she held an afternoon tea party to raise awareness of Melanoma and also ran a stall at a school fete to try and get the word across about safety in the sun raising and encouraging family members to help to raise significant sums for her cause all this despite the ravages of the side effects of her treatment such was her determination to help rid the world of the scourge of cancer. 

Tracy was taken from us way too young at 51 - in the 8 months from diagnosis to her sad passing she remained upbeat and concerned and determined that people should be made aware of safety in the sun - Tracy's cancer started from a small mole on her back over 10  years ago -  which although treated at the time later returned elsewhere in her body and despite all the efforts of the superb doctors and oncologists at Queens, Whitechapel and St Barts, there was to be no miracle for us, but Tracy has asked that I carry on the fight in her name which of course I will.

Tracy was my soul mate, my wife and mother to our wonderful son Alexander our loss merely magnifies the pain that Tracy felt and endured and increases our resolve to raise money to ensure that one day people do not have to bear such pain and loss 

Please donate to our cause - any amount is fine - every penny counts in this battle - we simply must beat cancer - more than 1 in 3 of us will at some stage face cancer in our life times - it is no fun for anyone when it happens. Before this came into our lives Cancer to me was a disease that "Other people get" - when it enters your life the impact is devastating and suddenly you see it everywhere you look

Tracy showed me a love I will never find again - please help us raise money to ensure fewer people have to experience the pain of treatment and also families and friends thereby do not experience the loss of loved ones
