PLEASE HELP CHRISTIE CANCER CHARITY
Joshua is 29 years old and is a special boy with a number of disabilities. He has been at the wonderful David Lewis Center in Cheshire for a number of years, helping Sally and me look after him and give him every opportunity alongside with Harriet and Sam, our other two children.
We have always believed that Joshua should live a fulfilling and fun life with his family and other special folk at the DL Centre. In this his 30th year we had planned for Joshua to have a bucket list of 30 events - sadly this was cut short in July!
After losing weight and being very poorly Josh was diagnosed with Germ Cell Cancer. This has taken its toll on all of us BUT not on Joshua, who just laughs his days and fills us all with a can do attitude.
Since Joshua's treatment will be given at The Christie hospital in Manchester, I would love to raise as much money as possible for The Christie to help others whilst Joshua is going through his chemo treatments. The Christie charity provides enhanced services over and above what is funded by the NHS, for more than 44,000 cancer patients treated at The Christie every year.
As a 60+ year old grandfather I have been doing 151 press-ups in one go every day since Joshua was diagnosed and will continue every day until he is cured, hopefully towards the end of this year.
Please donate for our wonderful cause and help our special boy become another success story for The Christie.
