Story

So I am set to do my biggest challenge.

Those people that know me no I had the worst news anyone could be given, that my life time partner, dad and Grampy has battled the first diagnosis of cancer to be given the news that this time it’s terminal.

In true style he had defied all the odds and fought a brain matatsis as well as cancer in other parts of his body .

To then be told that early this year it had spread to his bones .

Yet again underwent treatment of a hip replacement to enable him to walk again and carry on with the fight .

Through all this my husband lost his best friend suddenly to heart failure at a time when you need your friend he was gone .

But with all this he has been a true inspiration fight the hardest fight with the positive strong attitude .

Your our our role model as well as many others .

I would like to raise as much as I can to support Farleigh hospice . And British heart foundation . Two causes that need and deserve my support .
