So as many of you know sadly I lost the old man back in December 2021 after a long battle with cancer which sadly caught up with him. Luckily for him and my family he was in the best place for him for his final week being looked after by the incredible St Luke’s team comfortable and pain free. At the time you don’t really realise it as it happened in a short space of time but reflecting back the not having to worry about that side of things as tough as the time is takes so much pressure of you as a worried scared pre grieving family member. So to help St Luke’s and thank you I’ve decided to try and raise some money for a great and important charity
