10K Run in the Park
I felt helpless, thinking of ways I could give back to the hospital that were helping so much extend our time with our girl, I mentioned joining the 10k Weston Park Run in the Park, and Amy loved the idea, so I signed up and put up a just giving page. Within hours the target was exceeded, thanks again to the ice hockey community. We totaled £7,773.50, and achieved a place in the top 1% of fundraisers on JustGiving that year! The following year, I kept my promise and was supported and joined by our friends, Hewy, Ben, Jess and we did the 10K proudly wearing Amy’s name. Jess and I raised £1,955.00, and Ben’s page reached £736.00. (images of the boys, and Jess and I and the...

Of course sat centre stage, guest of honour was the untouchable Princess Amy, armed with a bottle of wine and the sweet smile. On the night everyone was a target except Amy – she was out of reach – or so she thought. One of my jokes was aimed at Steeler player Gord Baldwin, but for it to be funny I had to set about and openly attack the princess to distract from the punch line aimed at Gord. I questioned her illness, mocked her drug taking and to the silence of the room set about her. The room was so quiet. It had...
Chapter 3
Amy went to an appointment at Weston Park on 12th February 2015, where she was told that her tumours had now reached the stage where they were behaving so aggressively that there was no more treatment available. The priority for the doctors was now to keep her as comfortable as possible. Obviously this wasn’t the news anyone wanted, and Amy was determined to continue her fight, and we requested an appointment with specialists in London at the The Royal Marsden Hospital; on the 9th March we travelled down. But they confirmed what the Sheffield doctors had said. Amy’s health deteriorated almost immediately after the appointment. Amy’s favourite quote throughout her battle was- “Hope is stronger than fear” And I believe taking away her...
