What's 2.5 minutes compared to 2.5 years Joshy.
In June 2024, myself and my hero of an Auntie Mandy will be taking part in The Royal Marsden's Summer Skydive challenge—a skydive from an altitude up to 13,500ft in memory of my extremely loved and incredibly brave cousin Josh. I couldn't be prouder to be raising funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, their tireless dedication to providing groundbreaking treatments, research, and support for not only those affected by cancer, but their families too, is truly remarkable.
Every donation, no matter how small, will help the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity continue their life-saving work. With your help, we can honor Josh's memory and bring hope to those still fighting this battle.
Thank you so very much. LET'S DO THIS!
This fund has been set up in loving memory of Josh Hillier - aka 'Mr. Josh' to continue the fantastic fund raising efforts of his amazing friends and family.
Josh was diagnosed with acute Leukaemia in December 2020 and spent the next two and a half years battling this disease. Josh fought with courage, dignity, resilience, integrity and always with a sense of humour!
Josh was and is loved by so very many people, he is an amazing inspiration for many and despite his own illness, he never moaned, complained or whinged, instead he spent his many long stays in hospital helping others and supporting the mental health of people he knew going through similar adversity.
Due to the length of time that was spent both as an in patient and out patient, the Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton became like a second home to us and the fabulous team treating Josh were like family. Josh could never find enough good words to say about each and every one of them and he was very clear that he would always raise money for this great place. It would have always been his charity of choice, as it is now ours.
We lost Josh in June 2023 but his legacy will forever live on through this fund and he will continue to make a difference hopefully for many years to come. We would like to set a target of £100,00.00 - we recognise this is a significant amount of money but if we have half the spirit that Josh had we will reach this goal - whether it takes one year or 20 years we will keep fighting for Leukaemia Research in his name. Mr. Josh.
