Christmas was always a special time for Sandra. Not only because of her strong faith but also because it brought the whole family together, something that was very important to her, particularly during her battle with ovarian cancer.
For Sandra buying the tree heralded the arrival of our Christmas festivities. So, I am delighted to ‘plant’ a virtual tree in her memory.
I want to celebrate her life, and this has proven to be an ideal way to achieve this. I would be delighted if all her family and friends could put a light on the tree for her and help Target Ovarian Cancer in their quest to reduce the horrible statistic of 11 women dying each day from this cancer.
For Sandra, the diagnosis was too late, I pray the excellent work of Target Ovarian Cancer can help others recognize the symptoms much earlier.
In memory of my wonderful wife, Sandra

11 women die every day from ovarian cancer. That’s 11 lives lost and hundreds shattered as family and friends say goodbye too soon to someone they love as a consequence of this devastating disease. But there is hope – Target Ovarian Cancer.
We are the authority on ovarian cancer. We work with women, family members and health professionals to ensure we target the areas that matter most for those living and working with ovarian cancer.
As the UK’s leading ovarian cancer charity we improve early diagnosis, we fund life-saving research and we provide much-needed support to women with ovarian cancer. We’re the only charity fighting ovarian cancer on all three of these fronts, across all four nations of the UK.
