Story

As a family we have set this page up to enable people to donate in Terry's memory.

The short period of time from Terry's original diagnosis to his passing highlights the need to make people aware of this condition.

Terry was a huge advocate of charity and understood the benefits of giving and supporting others who were suffering or disadvantaged.

Whilst floral tributes at funerals are beautiful, a donation to a cause that might alter someone's life outcome would be a more fitting testimonial to a man who gave and meant so much to many people.

Bladder cancer is not a rare cancer - it is of the ten most common cancers in the UK - that's 4% of all new cases.

Over 20,000 people are diagnosed each year, and many of those will die. Despite this, there is very limited public awareness of the disease and it is a low priority on the public health agenda. Treatments have changed very little over the past 30 years and research is seriously underfunded. Bladder cancer has been called a 'Cinderella' cancer. ABC UK is dedicated to changing this and to giving bladder cancer patients a voice.
