Hi everyone! It's that time of year again, we are organising the 2012 sponsored bike ride for Andrews fund. This year we hope to raise more money than ever. With your continued support we hope this is possible.

Laura's colleagues from Archant Lifestyle will be taking part in the bike ride, along with our ever supportive friends and family. 

Please sponsor us, and we hope everyone has a great ride this year!!

Andrew was a happy, outgoing boy who loved his life, his family and his friends. He was always joking and laughing and loved playing all kinds of sports, especially football, golf, tennis and swimming, he was also a very enthusiastic drummer.

 

In August 2005 Andrew was diagnosed with a grade 4 PNET – a very rare and aggressive brain tumour. Weeks of radiotherapy and chemotherapy followed although nothing seemed to work and Andrew suffered more headaches and seizures. Andrew underwent a total of five major operations but each time the tumour returned. In August 2006 we were told that no more could be done for Andrew and he was sent home.

Andrew faced his illness with immense courage and bravery and had such a positive outlook on life. He was always smiling, joking and laughing.

Andrew died surrounded by us all in the early hours of Sunday morning on 12 November, one month before his 14 birthday. He has left us with so many wonderful memories of such happy times spent together, he was so special and we will remember him forever.

We are now trying to raise money in Andrew’s memory to help raise awareness and fund research into brain tumours, to give hope to other families whose lives are affected by this devastating disease.
