Story

Our lovely, kind, beautiful Jeremy passed away peacefully on 28th July 2016 after a two-year battle with cancer.

A few months after his diagnosis with cancer we visited the Penny Brohn Cancer Centre in Bristol - and were blown away by the kindness they showed us. Their Living Well With Cancer programme (given for free) was a real comfort and learning experience for us both. I do believe it was a turning point in Jeremy's cancer journey.

Following the visit, Jeremy became a Friend of the charity - donating to it every month. This enabled Penny Brohn to then offer the same programme to someone else battling cancer.

Not many people know about this centre - and yet the work they do is so important and provides so much comfort to cancer patients and their carers.

We were planning to go back there for another visit - but we never got there.

I know that Jeremy would be so happy to see that we are raising money for the wonderful Penny Brohn UK - so please dig deep and donate. Cancer will touch all our lives at some stage - whether ourselves or our loved ones. Penny Brohn may be the place that you go to to seek comfort and solace the way we did.

In the meantime, I know Jeremy is now pain-free and at peace - and will always be watching over me, his daughters (Jenny, Katie, Amanda), grand-daughter (Amber) and family and friends - as he sits up there drinking his pint of beer - smiling his beautiful smile down at us.

Jeremy - Love you with all my heart...and more.
