Thanks for supporting my fundraising. 

I remember the first time I met Niamh, our Macmillan Cancer Support Worker. I was sat in a room, on the oncology day bed unit with my baby daughter and I'd just had a phone call to book in my daughters next MRI scan. Due to covid the call was to ask myself, my daughter, wife and son to isolate for 2 weeks before the scan. Something that wasn't possible for many many reasons. I burst into tears not knowing how I could make that happen when my daughter was due back in hospital in just a few days for chemo, meaning myself and my wife could not isolate, also meant our son missing school when it was the only thing he had that made him happy at the time. My world fell apart, and in that moment, in walked Niamh. She was so calm and reassuring and she promised me she would sort it. And she did, and any issue we've had since, she's also solved. She's been there as a shoulder to cry on when needed and when I needed to vent at someone she was there. When it was our sons birthday and our daughter was ill after chemo and in hospital, she sat with her so we both could be at home with our son for the first time in months. I don't know if she knows how much she has done for us, but without her, dealing with cancer would have been so much worse.
