Story

Our dad got diagnosed with terminal lung cancer last July. He started chemo shortly after & the cancer reduced by 40%... 

April this year he had his first stroke...then another at pinderfields which changed him & unfortunately he never fully recovered. And will continue to have strokes & couldn't continue his chemo...

Our dad is now bed bound at home, with our mum as his full time carer. 24 hour care from nurses, doctors & carers. 

We don't how long he's got it could be days, weeks or month's. But as a family we want to make his life as good as we can. 

We want to raise money to help continue the amazing work our stroke charity is able to do! 

"You can climb that hill. You can be strong dad. Keep on going!" 

Alice Wilson & Charlotte Best
