Supporter stories
Many families choose to donate in memory of those they love.
Donald Hampson died from bladder cancer in March, following his diagnosis 13 years ago. Survived by his loving family: wife Pat, daughter Carole and sons, Jeff and David along with 11 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. We were incredibly grateful to Donald’s family and friends who donated in his memory, raising more than £950 for Fight Bladder Cancer.
In tribute to Sally Hurley, the much-loved wife, mother, loving grandmother and friend to many who passed away in February, friends and family gave to Fight Bladder Cancer, raising a wonderful £650. This money went directly to help support others affected by bladder cancer.
We were incredibly grateful to Matthew and Sam who established a donation page in memory of their stepdad Kevin Eyre. Kev, much-loved husband of Sue, died on 4 August after a courageous and bravely fought battle with bladder cancer and we are honoured to have received donations given in his memory. Huge thanks to his family and friends who gave so generously; their fundraising page reached nearly £2,000.
