It all started in August 2018... My dad, like you and me. Perfectly healthy, loved his garden and proud of his home grown veggies. We started to notice dad getting forgetful and repeating himself. Starting to think the worst... maybe early signs of Alzheimer's?? We decided to go away for the August Bank Holiday weekend. Dad soon became very unsteady and could hardly walk. Constantly falling and wobbly on his feet. Could this be a stroke?? We couldn't of been more wrong and nothing could of prepared us for the words the doctors said at the hospital that day ..... Brain Tumor Just 9 weeks later on 7th November, our dad sadly passed away. A day doesn't go by without thinking of him. We miss him lots. Which is why we have decided to run Race for Life this year in aid of Dad. 🏃♀️🏃🏻♂️🏃♀️Please help us raise as much money as possible to help beat Cancer! 💖 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
