I very much hope Cormac does not mind me asking readers to read the latest post on my blog – a guest piece from David Ashforth.
It’s not for the squeamish (though I found it uplifting) and it has two objectives:
To spread the word in the hope that someone will be saved the anguish David has suffered.
Raise some funds for Charity
Here’s a para from it:
Unless something else strikes me down in the meantime, the cancer will eventually spread, and kill me. If, for me, diagnosis turns out to be a death sentence it is a suspended sentence. It is now three years since I was diagnosed and I am feeling well and happy. Finding peace of mind is important. I make a point of seeing friends and enjoying life, and am doing some work for the Prostate Cancer Charity, to raise awareness among followers of racing.
