Story

Dear Friends,

This February it will be 10 years since Alastair died of pancreatic
cancer and so I’ve decided it’s time to do some more fundraising for Marie Curie.

So on April 30th I’m going to be taking part in the Glasgow 2023 Big Stroll Kiltwalk (14.3miles) and a few days before it I’m going to have my hair cut off and head shaved! (Little bit scary putting that in black and white!)  Alastair didn’t have chemo and so didn’t lose his hair, but he did have his head shaved twice for charity so it’s another way for me to remember him.

We were so incredibly fortunate during Alastair’s illness to have Marie Curie nurses. All through his illness they were on-call overnight and if the pain wasn’t in control we could call on them and they would come out from Dumfries and adjust his medication. Some nights we also had a nurse with us overnight. It is impossible to explain how much those incredible nurses meant to us on that hard journey. So many are touched by cancer and once again I’d love to be able to help someone else get that support.

I’d be delighted if you feel able to help me in this fundraising.

Kirsteen
