8 years ago a good friend of mine, Ben, lost his fight with cancer. He was in his early forties leaving behind three young children and a loving wife. A few weeks later I also lost my Nan to the same disease. 2 years ago my friend from school, Grant, passed away at 42 with cancer. 3 years ago we lay to rest Dawn, another friend taken way too soon by Cancer. The purpose of this stream is to raise money for the Marie Curie charity. Providing support and care to those suffering with terminal illness, Marie Curie bring light in the darkest hours

Cancer effects us all, whether it's our family, friends or even you. At some point in all our lives cancer will strike. By donating you can make a difference and save lives.

Marie Curie is here for anyone with an illness they’re likely to die from, and those close to them. Whatever the illness, wherever you are, we’re with you to the end. We bring 75 years of experience and leading research to the care we give you at home, in our hospices and over the phone. And we push for a better end of life for all by campaigning and sharing research to change the system.
