Story

Update:

On the 9th January 2013 Grandad passed away. He contracted a third strain of cancer (bowel cancer) and It was his time. He passed peacefully, and he can now be in pain no more. Rest in peace old man, you will never be forgotton.

*******************************************************

I stand for my amazing Grandad

He has not and will not lose his battle against lymphoma and leukaemia. This man has been through so much in the past few years and is such a fighter. Apart from being one of the most miserable men I know(haha!), I dont think he has ever complained about this to me. We all know he will beat this.

I stand for him because of so many reasons, too many to list. The main and most important being that I love him. I want to make him proud. I want to give back to the cancer nurses that are helping him through this.

My main target is to Skydive! Im scared of heights - I went on a zipwire once and was a bit of a mess after! This I will do in the new year (January time) once I have reached my target!

I will also dip dye my precious hair like THIS but pink and something because pink is the bomb!! (thanks to George S. for the help in choosing!) This is for a constant reminder of what he means to me. This I will be doing on the 19th October!

Those that know me well will know that I cant even bear to have my hair cut and cry when I leave the hairdressers everytime because i dont like it.

My Gramps means so much to me that I would do anything in my power to help him overcome this.

We wont give up our fight.

So please dig deep and donate now.
