Story
Hello, we'd like you to meet Andy. For those of you who don't already know him, he's the definition of a proud cornishman. A lovable character with a heart of gold. Andy is father to Rosie, step dad to 4 & "Grandy"(grandad) to 5. He has a very suportive and strong wife of 15yrs, Deb.
In 2011 Andy was diagnosed with bowel cancer. It hit us all hard but after surgery, chemo & years of recovery Andy fought this terrible disease & won.
Andy wouldn't have been able to fight so hard without the support of his wife & family. There wasn't a time Deb left his bedside. She even quite her job to do so. After some time Andy & Deb soon returned home & began living & working again. Andy found a new passion & became a member of 'Oll an gwella' male voice choir. They were finally back on track & Andy was even able to retire in Sept.
However, only weeks after retiring, on oct 29th Andy & 2 fellow choir members were sadly involved in a car incident. All 3 of them suffered serious injuries but Andy is still yet to return home. He is currently at Deriford hospital with limited movement in his upper arms & no movement to his torso & legs caused by a crack to a vertebrae in his neck. He is waiting to be move upto Salisbury to recieve specialist treatment. We are still unsure of the life changing impact this will have on his future. Deb travels to visit Andy everyday but once he has been transfered this will soon become a financial struggle.
So, this page is to show Andy & Deb that although we can not physically help Andy, we can support them with their future. Wether it being money towards travelling costs for Deb to visit her husband or to potentially find suitable accomodation & the right facilities for Andys return home.
Every penny will help!
We would like to thank everyone for your support & kind wishes. It means alot!
"With Andys strong will & sense of mind it won't be long till hes home singing to the world again!"- Deb
