Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Andrew, you called my office and told my receptionist you were my Knight and came to save me …. And you did.

You are the love of my life, my fun, happy, magical, exquisitely beautiful inside and out Husband. I feel such pain at losing you in November 2022 after a 5 year fight from Myeloma , which is a type of Blood cancer that is currently incurable . That was the hardest fight of all that you had .
