My husband Rob and myself (Tania) lives were turned upside down within five weeks, from 3rd November 2025. That was the date we first went to our GP with concerns about Rob’s health, to the start of his first treatment for a High Grade Central Nervous System Lymphoma. It was one appointment after another with information to be taken in. We were given printed off sheets and books written by the charity Lymphoma Action. Their information about this blood cancer and with testimonials from others, having gone through similar treatments, gave us hope, and though Rob did not want to know more than needed, I found the information gave me the strength to support Rob through his treatment. We want to raise money for Lymphoma Action, so they can help many more patients and carers, as they did us.

Family is so important to Rob, and his children Emma and Richard's support means the world to him. Despite Richard living in Luxembourg he wanted to show his support for both his Father and Lymphoma Action. So has taken up the challenge of a 100 push ups a day for a month, his support is pushing the fund raising way and beyond. Emma is walking a Marathon on September 12th and is using her skills to promote the events. How they both find the time and effort with two amazing young boys each and demanding jobs. We are so lucky to have their support with their partners Jon and Rhi, with the Grandchildren Jasper, Blake, Quinn and Jude. They show us the future is good to have such care and love in our lives.

Not everyone is as lucky as us and go through their cancer treatment on their own, we know the support Lymphoma Action is vital to help navigate through the treatment.

So we are doing a weekend of events, Saturday September 5th 2026, 5pm to 7pm, at Cropredy Village Hall OX17 1PA NR Banbury. A fun evening, free entry, with games for all the family, refreshments and raffle including a weekend away in a self catering cottage near Salisbury.
