Story

Last Christmas our Dad collapsed and went to hospital where a few days later he suffered a massive heart attack. He was taken to ICU in a coma ...we waited and waited but sadly were told there was nothing more to be done. This was as a family so difficult, but losing him like that was heart breaking. 

5 months later passed and as a family we were trying to cope with the loss of Dad to be told our Mum had terminal cancer and had 2 days to live ! There was nothing we could do but again wait . Ten days later mum sadly passed away.  She was an amazing lady...the most selfless person ...she would give anyone anything! 

 Losing both parents within 6 months of one another has been the cruellest thing as a family to deal with.

Roger and I want to give someone or a family a wish  ..something we never had the chance to do 

Our family chain has been broken....until we meet again x

Our niece Tanya is also fundraising for cancer research in memory of my mum and dad.  Please support us as a family.
