Story

I am taking part in the Prudential Bike Ride in memory of my father-in-law Derek Watkins. Derek was an amazing man, not only an extremely talented musician but a man who loved his family and would have wanted, more than anything in the world, to have been able to stay with them longer.

He bravely fought this disease for 2 years and the team at The Royal Marsden in Fulham were amazing, but sadly on the 22nd March 2013 the disease beat him and he sadly died.

Sarcoma UK are battling to improve earlier diagnosis and increase awareness of the signs of sarcoma so that more people can survive.  The smaller the sarcoma at diagnosis, the better the chances of survival.

Please can you help by sponsoring me, not only in memory of an amazing man, but also to help the many people already suffering and fighting sarcoma.

 

Thank you
