My dearly missed dad was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago. 

He wasn’t a smoker, just one of those unfortunate minority who suffer the illness, despite previously living healthily.

He was the kind of man who just got on with things, he didn’t bemoan his luck and didn’t dwell on the situation. He just continued to be the same reliable, helpful and resourceful dad I’d always known. 

He loved fixing things, Dad, though despite fighting a tough battle with the cancer he sadly died on May 27th. The Christie Hospital did him proud, trying their best to fix this particular problem with great care and expertise. We have no doubt that new treatments, including immunotherapy, helped extend dad’s life, helping him to become a grandad for the first time to my son, Jake, last year.

We want to help other families experiencing situations like these. Any money you can donate to help The Christie with their research, treatment and patient care would be greatly appreciated. 

In loving memory of my wonderful dad, Bernie.
