Story

Hi, I’m Kev Green.

As someone who has witnessed the cruel, indiscriminate grip of cancer firsthand, I’m reaching out to you not just as the admin of Just About Watches, but as a husband, a father, and a patient. I’ve always believed this community is about more than watches — it’s about connection, compassion, and the courage to stand together when life becomes unspeakably hard. And right now, I need your help.

Cancer isn’t something that’s brushed past my family — it’s crashed into us like a wave, again and again, with no time to catch our breath. I’ve been diagnosed with a brain tumour. That alone was shattering. But it wasn’t the end. I now also have prostate cancer. My daughter, in her early thirties — so full of life, plans, and promise — is in the fight of her life against breast cancer. And my wife… she’s a survivor. She beat breast cancer with everything she had, and thanks to Tamoxifen — a treatment developed with the help of Tenovus Cancer Care — she’s still here with us. Still smiling. Still fighting alongside us.

But none of us can do this alone.

Tenovus Cancer Care is more than just a charity. They are the calm in the storm. They bring treatment to people who can’t travel. They offer comfort when the nights are long and lonely. They listen, advise, and hold the hands of families who are terrified — like mine. They’ve changed lives. They’ve saved them. But to keep doing that, they need your help.

That’s why I’m fundraising — not out of obligation, but out of desperation. Out of love. Because I know, firsthand, what it feels like to sit in a waiting room and not know if your world is about to fall apart. And I know how much hope matters.

Your donation, whatever the size, can help Tenovus continue their vital work. It can fund research into better treatments. It can keep the mobile support units running. It can make sure someone else’s daughter, someone else’s husband, has a better chance of surviving. Of living. Of holding their family for just a little bit longer.

Just About Watches has always been a place where people come together. We share passions. But we also share pain. And I believe this community can be a force for good — a force that saves lives.

Please. If you can give — even a little — do. For me. For my family. For all the families that Tenovus is still fighting to save. Let’s do something extraordinary. Let’s show the world what this community is made of.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
