In memory of
Linda, Nanny, Johnny and Marie
On 6th June 2017, our dear brave Linda sadly lost her battle with cancer. I knew Linda since age 16, she introduced me to and encouraged my love of the NHS. I remember with a mixture of fondness and sadness that she had a calculator on her desk counting down to retirement, but sadly she never made it. I am completing the Race for Life this year in memory of Linda, and also in memory of my Nan and uncle who sadly passed away within 2 months of each other in 2011 and are still very much missed by everyone who knew them. My wonderful godmother, Marie, also passed away from breast cancer when I was 12. Cancer affects each and every one of us; I do not know a single person who has not been affected in one way or another and having worked in the Oncology department at a hospital, I am more determined now than ever to help stamp out cancer - with your donations too of course!
