GlennK Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 To all my friends and forum members: After an 8 year long and difficult fight with a brain tumour, my wife passed away Friday 15th September. A great loss to all her family and friends. I am determined to help stop this disease afflicting others.

Being able to look after a loved one is such a condition must be one of the most difficult things I can imagine. You have my deepest condolences and deepest respect.

AC93 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Sorry to hear this bro After recent events I've started campaigning for the NHS and public sector. I think nurses and carers do an epic job looking after patients but even more amazing to read the year on year care you put in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennK Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Dear All, I am very moved and heartened by the club members' kindheartedness and support in defeating this horrendous disease. For your awareness - Brain cancer victims numbers have been steadily rising; between 2002 and 2015 there has been a 27% increase. And out of all recorded deaths in the UK from all causes, brain tumours now account for 1 in every 143 people. And 1 in every 64 people under the age of 75. Shocking statistics. Thanks again for your support. I am planning for a mass Supra fundraising meeting in the Spring with the aim of bringing the public in, and media attention. Watch this space...
