My lovely Dad had a very short time from diagnosis of single cell lung cancer to going to sleep for the final time in the early hours of the 7th October 2020. 

In the short 10 weeks we had, we were supported by a number of NHS teams, Cancer support teams and St Teresa's palliative care team from Darlington 

Together they were the rock that both my dad and our family needed.  St Teresa's were there in my dads final days, hours, minutes and even following his passing and have been the most amazing support to us.  We wouldn't have got through it without them.  They answered questions, shared information when we needed it and supported us all through one of the most distressing times any family can go through. My dads wish, in his own words was 'to give back and see them right for all they were doing'.  

This fundraiser has been created to allow us to do that on his behalf. Specifically for the team that helped and supported us in our local Darlington community.

One of the things we learned as a family is how prevalent cancer is, how many people it effects and how the work carried out by the teams in Darlington is so very very important. 

We are asking for donations to help this team to continue to support families like ours in our local community.
