UPDATE:  since we created the page below, our cherished dad, Albert has sadly lost his battle and passed away on 22 October 2021

We are immensely proud of his strength and optimism throughout his journey with cancer. For this reason we are keeping the link open, so friends and family can make a donation in remembrance of him.

“We’re the Simpson family, and we’re coming together to show our appreciation for the great support that we’ve received so far from the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre. To do this we’re going to walk Snowdon together to raise some money for this great cause.

Seven years ago, our dad - and grandad - was diagnosed with Prostate cancer. For four weeks, while he attended the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre for treatment every week day, this special place became his second home. The banter between all the other patients was uplifting for him and he was treated like a king by all of the staff. As a result, he responded very well to his treatment and became free of the cancer.

This April, two months after he celebrated his 80th birthday he was told it had come back and with a secondary too. Once again he is under the care of Clatterbridge and is battling well. The support that he is receiving from the hospital - and Maggie’s Centre is so reassuring to him, and is totally humbling to us, as his family. Please help us to show our support by sponsoring us as we attempt our mountain climb… “

As a family team, we’re at varying levels of fitness… and have varying heads for heights too… so the event itself should prove interesting 🙈. Our team consists of:

Neil & Sarah

Debbie & Janet

Kirsty & Paul
