Story

Thank you for supporting our fundraising efforts.

I've gathered this beautiful brood of 'Coast Busters' together to help raise money for Macmillan Cancer.  For those who know me, cancer has played a significant part in my family's history, affecting my younger brother, Stephen in 2004, then his wife, Catherine and my dad, who both sadly passed away in Nov 2012 and Jan 2013 respectively.  

In May last year, my older brother, David died just 3 weeks after being diagnosed with renal cancer.  This was an enormous shock to us all but especially for my mum, Valerie, who was recovering from a ruptured brain aneurysm less than 5 months before.  Then in December 2022, unbelievably, mum was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer and  started receiving chemotherapy in January 2023.  

Throughout all of this, Mum never lost her zest for life - she continued to play bridge, meet friends for coffee and lunch, take leisurely drives out with Ian and continued to hand out DIY instructions at home!! 

Sadly, Mum died on June 6th 2023.  She was an inspiration to us all and will be missed terribly. 

Your support for MACMILLAN Cancer allows us to give something back to the nurses, doctors  and staff who supported her.

Thank you!
