    Story

    As you may know, in March 2014 Simon was diagnosed with terminal cancer in his lungs. As a family we are really thankful that he is still with us, and grateful for the various experimental treatments his doctors have been able to try over the three years.

    The most recent treatment (a form of radiotherapy) has brought the tentative good news that it got rid of all his tumours. We are celebrating this and waiting to hear what the longer term indications will be.

    In the meantime, Simon is unable to work and is ineligible for any benefits or state allowances. He's still quite unwell with the longer term effects of both the cancer and the treatment and it's as yet uncertain how quickly he will recover from these, if at all. The three and a half years have taken quite a toll, including financially!

    We'd like to raise £1,000 to cover 3 months of living costs for Simon. We appreciate those people who have already supported him financially, whether as a one-off or on an ongoing basis. It has made a difficult time more manageable for the whole family and we are so grateful.

    If you are able to give towards this, any amount would be appreciated. We know that many of you show your friendship to our family in other ways as well, and we've been immensely encouraged by those over the years.

    We will also be running a larger fundraiser to cover the rest of Simon's mortgage, which you can read about here: https://gogetfunding.com/help-simon

    Thanks again!

    Lucy, Amelia, Ben, Josh, Mathew, Hannah, and Philippa (Simon's children and grandchildren)
