Story

Sarah and I had 8 years of a special and true love that
only happens once in lifetime. She was a strong and sometimes stubborn person, but she was the most affectionate loving person I knew.

I am doing this Sahara challenge in Sarah’s memory and
know she will be with me every step of the way by my  side in 
the desert. 

I am also doing this for the UGI Nursing Team (Macmillan)
especially Rachel Ede who supported me and Sarah’s sisters until she passed away. This challenge is also for the nursing staff on ward 622 who were amazing as well in Sarah’s last hours

Cancer has no boundaries and has robbed me of the love of
my life so anything I can do to support the team at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital is only good and positive and the right thing to do,
