A serious note...

Hi all,

Some of you know me from when I used to participate on these forums a lot, some of you won't know me at all!

Unfortunatley yesterday my girlfriends dad, who was also one of my good mates passed away. He has battled cancer for about 8 years now and is a credit to anyone who needs inspiration in any walk of life.

My girlfriend is doing a sponsored walk to raise money for the hospice who looked after Steve and supported him through his time with cancer.

Please read her page at JustGiving, this is not a thread asking for your money at all, I am just giving the opportunity for any of you to sponsor if you would like to.

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike

This is really sad. Condolences to you, your girlfriend and also your girlfriends family.

Cancer is a horrible thing. I will donate later today when I get my bank card from the house.

I wish your girlfriend luck with the walk, and I'm sure she'll raise lots of money for the hospice.

I echo exactly what Marc said. I will also donate later.
