“This fundraising event was held in memory of my mum’s sister who died of leukaemia at age 18, so I never met her.
“It is also in memory of my partner’s father and uncle who both died of cancer.
“My son will never get to know his own grandfather and cancer robs us all of family and friends before their time.
