Hi guys Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for yous donating i thank you from the bottom of my heart :)

Ive never really understood cancer, its not something i think you ever really think about is it and i suppose you never get a feel of how heartbreaking and life destroying it is untill your the one either suffering with the horrible disease pyhsically (which i couldnt begin to imagine)  or just suffering with it due to a family member/ close friend suffering. firstly the first thing you ask is how long, you atomatically expect the complete worst which in some cases are, but other cases arent, and its hospitals like christies that help in making lifes comfortable, livable, and prolong lifes in order to live the remaining days doing the things you want with the people you love.

Unfortunately for myself and my family this wasnt the case and we never got to experience Christies as it was just simply too late. My father, my daddy, my hero, the most geniune man on this earth, honestly i know we all love our dad and when anyone passes its like aw they were amazing because everyone steals a place in someones heart but my dad stole a place in every persons that he knew heart!

ever needed something doing...he was there, knew everyone... that was him, helped anyone with anything... that was him, needed to be cheered up by a painful joke... that was deffo him haha,  youd slap your fod or shake your head most times with a slight laugh as if to say there he goes again haha! he was just so funny and lovable , the type of man who would laugh so hard at his own jokes it would make the room laugh till tears ran down your face, absolute character , a character who didnt deserve to be taken away from us so soon without atleast being treated like the king he was a whisked away ticking off a bucket list...

He fell poorley, but like the typical man he was fine just didnt have an appetite, just had a bug, just ....... no it was cancer.

i walked into his house and looked at his withdrawn face that was still smiling of course and just said dad get in my car now were going a&e ,, it just happend so fast.. as fast as getting told cancer on the saturday afternoon, to getting told terminal monday afternoon.. we didnt have time to even let the C word sink in to even get a note pad together to try and start a bucket list as he passed on the tuesday not even 24hours later. (25.10.16)

The pain was horrific it was a bad bad nightmare and it still is, its still so so raw and i think with it being such a massive shock to us it will be raw for many years. 

but now im ready to help others, other families who can have the amazing news that treatment can be offered...

just like my fiances uncle, David Kelly.. now if you want to put a face to the word inspirational then hes the man! dave visited christies for over 10 years whilst battling his cancer, christies wasnt just a sad place for him and his wife judith it was a happy place, a place that kept him living so he could live a normal life still making the memories they wanted to. so this just giving page is in memory of Dave who put up the most amazing fight ive ever known to the disease and a big thankyou to such an amazing hospital for all the care love and support theyve given dave and judith over the years, and also raising money so more families can prolong lifes and live those last years, months , days the best as possible as i wouldnt want anyone to feel the way i have knowing nothing can be done.

sending lots of love to those who have lost lifes to cancer, sending hope and prayers to current sufferers and sending smiles and a big fist to the survivers!!! lets kick cancers arse!!

any donation is muchly appreciated and i thank you all for your love and support over the past 12months

RIP DADDY <3

RIP DAVE <3
