Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2022 Mum discovered a lump in her lower leg. After trips to the doctors and Rosemere it was discovered she had a sarcoma. Radiotherapy 5 days a week for 4 weeks and an operation followed, taken in her usual bullish way.

As it was a sarcoma she was referred to Clatterbridge under the care of Dr Olsson-Brown. Chemo followed, but sadly was not effective as the cancer begam terminal and chemo ineffective.

Sadly Mum lost her heroic battle in December 2023 but the care, honesty and dedication from all at Clatterbridge meant so much to her. Even her chat with a volunteer who had lost his wife a few years ago, whilst I had to move the car, stuck in her memory and meant a lot to her.

She wanted to donate to Clatterbridge through her will but I also wanted to give back to this wonderful place, which despite the obvious sadness holds fond memories for me and Mum.

In Mums memory and to raise funds for some amazing charities, i'll be taking on challenge 2026. Eight huge challenges in 2026.
