In memory of Yvonne Poyntz

Together we walk!

14 years ago I lost my younger sister Yvonne to cancer aged 57. Eight years ago my wife Angela was diagnosed with early onset cancer and promptly underwent a procedure and having been monitored over a period of 5 years she was given the all clear 3 years ago. Angela’s teenage grand-niece overcame  cancer a couple of years ago through the dedication, experience and professionalism of The Royal Marsden. Sadly, I have over the years lost several members of my wider family including cousins and currently 2 relatives are undergoing treatment for different forms of cancer. This year I have decided to walk the 15 mile march from The Royal Marsden in Brompton to The Royal Marsden in Sutton in conjunction with thousands of others to support The Royal Marsden; a world-leading cancer centre. Please donate to my page and your support will enable their nurses, doctors, and research teams to provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. Together, we can transform the lives of cancer patients.
