I am taking on this challenge in recognition of all the support our family has received from Macmillan over the years.

Most recently, my nephew David died last May, 3 weeks after diagnosis. This was 10 yrs after losing his Dad & sister-in-law within 6 weeks of each other. 

Three months ago his Mum, Valerie, was diagnosed with cancer & has started her treatment. The manner in which she has dealt with her own illnesses & losing loved ones has been an inspiration to us all.

This has all been such a shock but the support network that has been provided is fantastic & we are all very grateful for the help provided by Macmillan.
