Last weekend, my Uncle Pat got remarried to a lovely lady called Pauline. It was a fab day at Pinewood Studios.
Uncle Pat was sadly widowed in 2003. His wife of 34 years Eileen was struck down very quickly with ovarian cancer, and from diagnosis to passing away was just 6 weeks. It was very, very sad, especially as it was just before Pete and I got married.
Eileen's mother had died in her 50's of Breast Cancer in the early 70's. As a consequence, Eileen monitored herself carefully, and her daughter Sarah (my wonderful cousin) also checks herself regularly.
Sarah is now in the NHS monitoring scheme at 35 for female cancers. Even though the Moonwalk is focused on Breast Cancer, every penny that goes into any type of Cancer Charity is so precious, because it is one step nearer to finding a cure.
We all had an amazing day, the sun shone and the bride and groom looked wonderfully happy. And with your help and sponsorship, we all hope to fight cancer and have more wonderful weddings in the sun.
Love Claire xx
