My 3 year old has cancer, and what I'm going to do about it

[phil_hg_uk]

Just a final message to say that we completed the 260 Miles ride on Monday 17th September, and I have just arrived back in England.

A very cheesy picture of us in the charity T-Shirts:

There are more + GPS positioning of where they were taken on my Twitter page https://twitter.com/JamesLyne1
The trip was pretty hard going especially on the Friday where we were cycling directly into very strong winds and rain (The winds were seen to be blowing trees down around the Denmark). So it was hard work, but we managed to crack it ok.

So, Thanks again for those of you that have sponsored me. We are around £250 off £10,000.

I found the advice I received on this forum and Bike Radar invaluable so thanks for that. Particularly the advice about the saddles, clothing and tyres.

thanks again

Well done good to hear you completed it ok

Well done !!!

Nearly £10,000 is a very impressive amount to raise and will certainly be a significant help in treating blood cancers.

Go to the pub and have a pint , in the satisfaction of having done a 'good job' !

Searching for something else on this site, i stumbled upon this and wondered how little William is doing. It's not my place (I have no connection with the family, just found this thread), but the people who supported James with this would probably like to know. William died a few weeks ago.

His father is still working on fundraising and I've just made a small donation.

Nothing to say. Nothing I can say really. So, so sorry for everyone affected by this.

Very sad. I have a friend dealing with a similar problem at the moment and nothing you say can help.

So sorry to hear this. Especially when the most recent reports seemed to be so positive. I don't shed tears easily, but felt myself welling up when I read this. Although I don't know the family personally, I feel a connection through the progress reports on this site. If I feel this way, then I can only imagine what James' family are going through. Deepest sympathies.

Very sad indeed !

I feel deeply sorry for all those affected by this; Big Jim has worked so very hard and continues to do so - raising money to support the Hospital Charity for where William was treated. People such as Big Jim, certainly make the world seem a better place.

made a small donation, goodluck with future fundraising.

Thanks for the mention.

Unfortunately he passed away on 11/11. He just suddenly relapsed. It was fast and aggressive (2 weeks in total) and pretty traumatic watching him die. I mean, we were there 24/7 in his hospital room at the Marsden watching it happen. I think, the problem was that he had a Cancer that there is no known cure for. This is why I'm so pro-research when it comes to medical conditions.

:'(

We're walking the Marsden March this March coming to give the hospital our support. They really are a world class hospital and looked after us very well over the past 2 years.

thanks also for the kind messages and donations. that's really good of everyone

Just need to do another bike ride at some point.

God bless you mate, having lost my own son I unfortunately know the pain you going through! Stay strong buddy, Tony

My father passed away fairly recently having had AML so not yet managed to read all the thread. I will be wishing for good weather for when you do your walk, donation made.
