<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>As many of you will know, I sadly lost my fantastic dad to lung cancer at the begining of the year.&nbsp; He was a real gentleman and was loved by all that knew him.&nbsp; In his own words he had 72 wonderful years and just one bad one and he achieved many things and visited many places.&nbsp; One of&nbsp;his proudest achieviements was to climb Sydney Harbour Bridge, even at 71, he was probably the fittest of the group there.&nbsp;</p> <p>He was not a smoker, walked approx 5 miles a day with his great horse of a dog, played golf 3-4 times a week&nbsp;and lived his life to the full.&nbsp; In the last 4 weeks of his life, he was admitted to the LOROS hospital, a fantastic completely self funded hospice which became his and our home from home.&nbsp; Nothing was to much trouble, his every need was catered for and the staff were compasionate and always available.&nbsp; The hospice costs 4 million pounds a year to run, all of which has to be achieved through fundraising, hence this&nbsp; walk.&nbsp; A truly amazing place and an example of how 4 million pound should be spent on health care.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
