Story

My beautiful wife Angie passed away on 08 August 2025 after a brutal battle with AML.

Angie was full of vitality, a no-nonsense drive to get things done and a seemingly endless generosity of spirit. Anyone who knew her would not be surprised to learn that she went through seven months of treatment and chemotherapy with bravery, positivity and a determination that she would get better and go home to her boys: myself and our son Gregory.

Unfortunately, the level of disease was never reduced to a point that a stem cell transplant could go ahead.

Just as throughout her life, Angie was cheerful and upbeat during her stays in the Ruth Myles Ward and as an outpatient, a song always in her heart and a delight in chatting and getting to know other outpatients patients and the wonderful staff at St George's hospital.

Angie's funeral will be a small, family affair in Greece. many people, family, friends and colleagues have reached out to ask about flowers, which is challenging logistically.

Angie wanted to make a difference. To do something good. She had already begun fundraising for the Ruth Myles Ward and when she learned of the research of the Anthony Nolan organization and experienced directly the support of the MacMillan nurses, she was determined to help them too.

Angie was a hard worker, a multi-tasker and plate-spinner who still found the time for others. Please help, if you can, to carry the baton she was forced to put down.

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. The number of people diagnosed with cancer is growing, and every one of them needs the best support to meet their unique needs.

That's why Macmillan will do whatever it takes to help everyone living with cancer across the UK get the support they need right now and transform cancer care for everyone who will be diagnosed in the future.
