Story

I'm walking the Marsden March this year in Aid of The Royal Marsden Hospital Sutton, where my beautiful wife Nic spent a lot of time being treated. Nic and I were supposed to be doing this together, to give back something to the hospital that gave us so much. I was going to push her in her chair if needed, but Cancer had it's way. Now I will be walking this with Nic in my heart but without her hand in mine.

The Marsden supported us through our darkest hours, healing Nic as best they could. Nic underwent countless sessions of Radio Therapy and Chemo Therapy to fight this terrible disease, but in the end, her little body no more fight despite her spirit never giving up. She was positive to the end, laughing and enjoying a blue light ride to St George's Hospital as we flew through the traffic.

Nic and I had two short years of love, after meeting performing Epsom Players production of West Side Story. During those two years we shared a life time of love as we battled through the devastastion that Cancer wrought over our lives.

Nic and I got engaged and less than a year later we got married on April 7th 2012, the most perfect day of my life. Less than six months later, Nic was taken from us, on 28th of September 2012. Nic was 26 and a half to the day, and we were just short of six months of marriage. 

I need you to donate, anything you can, so that other young ladies wont have to go through what Nic went through fighting this killer diease. And also, so that partners of those girls don't go though what I went through, and am still going through.
