In loving memory of
Ruth Boyten (Grandma Ruth)
11/12/1946 - 17/08/2007
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die
Support my challenge to fight for a world without pancreatic cancer
This September, I'm walking 80km for the 80 people who die from pancreatic cancer every 3 days in the UK.
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer in the UK.
Right now, 31 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day in the UK.
So this September, I'm challenging myself to get up, get moving and walk 80km in remembrance of my mum (Grandma Ruth), and stand with those affected by pancreatic cancer.
My mum, Ruth, would-be 80 this year (11/12/1946). She passed away in 2007 when only 60. She was a wonderful & adoring Grandma to Felix, Grace, Martha, Isaac & Gabriel.
When poorly, she asked me to put up a photo of her, & this beautiful photo of my mum, Katrine & little Isaac has been on our mantelpiece for nearly 20 years.
Please make a donation to support me, and together...
We will remember them. We will honour them. We will fight for them.

I've had lots of fun walking with the Girls, Isaac, & a wonderful old student who treated me to a drink & tasty curry (& my kidney stone!) for my mum, & adored Grandma Ruth (Boyten).

Ms Wrinkles enjoyed a late night walk at the park - snootling for foxes.
Kidney Stone!
A number of you know, but I've not been able to walk as much as I'd hoped due to a very painful kidney stone last week.

Sat around the kitchen table at Windlesham with Ruth, I / you / we had such great late-night / wee hours of the early morning chats. She is sorely missed, one of a kind. Just don't mention the early morning 'parabolas', as it were ... (if it was a movie it would be 'Parabolic Activity')

Well done, a great cause. And, although clearly never forgotten, a good way to celebrate your mum
