Story
22nd April 2015 is when our worlds came crashing down when my foster dad but husband to a wonderful woman and dad to 4 young children was diagnosed with stage 4 voicebox cancer! After 7 weeks of intense chemo and radiot he became very poorly but we got the result we all wanted he got the all clear, we thought our lives could go back to normal! Paul returned back to work and the kids thought they had their dad back until he started to get similar symptoms back! he is fine they said but we knew otherwise. Within a few weeks he deteriorated very quickly and finally we got the diagnosis of voicebox cancer but this time he was covered and e had no other option than to have his voicebox removed or 6 months to live! At the age of 35 his life was going to change forever, he was scared that the children he adored would be scared of him but it was an operation that had to be done! 14th September 2016 is when his voicebox was taken and from that day on he hasn't been the man we love! But again we got the all clear which was brilliant as we had Christmas around the corner we pulled out all the stops to make it extra special! It was the best Christmas by far, for the first time we sat and ate dinner together no one wanted the day to end! But this happiness didn't last long as Paul took a turn for the worst as he became bed bound with pain! The daily medicine was no longer working and the weekly hospital visits started again, we knew it was back we didn't need the confirmation and neither did Paul! 25th April 2017 Paul was diagnosed again but this time there is no coming back from it so time is limited! I am making this page so Paul can make the most amazing memories with the kids which are only 5,9,12 years old! Cancer has taken too much time from my family and has taken the fun daddy the kids once had! One day their daddy wont be here but the memories will live on forever! His wife is his guardian angel she ensures he has everything and more! I want my family to smile not cry

we want to try and give the children a 'normal' life over the next coming months, all donations would be very much appreciated by those children especially
