Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

My beautiful wife, Sue, sadly passed away 8th of February this year after an 8 month battle with Carconoid cancer and only 2 months after our wedding on the 29th of November. She was 46..Sue was a real party girl and brough fun and laughter where ever she went. A huge TVR fan, Sue worked at a TVR dealers for several years on and off between 1988/2001. We met in 2002 and bought our Chimaera ( C11YMY) in the spring of 2005 just in time for the Tatton Park car show where we were invited to join the Greater Manchester and Cheshire Club stand. She was an instant hit. Her infectious giggle and personality were addictive and friends were made instantly.

Sadly i will now have to attend these events without my soul mate but will be amongst friends.Sue called it her "Extended TVR Family." She was the driving force behind us attending the London Thunder Rally in support of the TVR workforce and also our attendence at The Thunder Ball the following New year even though she had lost her Mum suddenly the week before. Thats the lady she was. Always putting others first.

Now it is payback time. Sues final days were spent at Manorlands, our local Sue Ryder Hospice. They are angels. I have been humbled by these people. The care and support Sue and all the family recieved will remain with me forever. Our only regret is that the Hospice has no double rooms, or more more importantly, double care beds. It was our only dream to spend our last nights together, to hold each other through those last days. We couldnt. I spent every night by Sues side in a chair..........The money raised will be for this reason. For others to have thier final wishes come true and to purchase double beds. Sue Ryder is a nationwide charity. The more we collect, the more we can help.

Statistics now show that 1 in 3 of us will be touched by this dreadfull desease.

I am to attend as many car shows this year as possible so please keep your eyes open for Sues car and come and talk. Please give allyou can.

Thank you

Steve and Sue xxxxx
