Scantastic

Thanks Lainy

I’ll let Katja and Matt take the credit for the ‘beautiful baby’ bit.

You can see from one of the pictures that Joe and me are already reading to each other – do you guys have Peppa Pig over there? http://www.peppapig.com .

You may not believe it but we are actually reading ‘Peppa Pig goes to College’ (Mummy and Daddy Pig are feeling broke)

Thank you Nancy.

AMMF http://www.ammf.org.uk
is the only charity in the UK dedicated to cholangiocarcinoma. The full title is the Alan Morement Memorial Foundation. AMMF often mentions our friends on Cholangiocarcinoma.org as an important source of support and comfort.

It is run by a wonderful lady called Helen wife of Alan who died in 2001. She works tirelessly to raise the profile of Cc and to fund research on this side of the atlantic. She is a really important champion for those diagnosed and their families.

My fundraising event is on my grandsons’ first birth when Joseph and I will be climbing Pen-y-ghent in the Yorkshire Dales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen-y-ghent.

I never imagined that I would ever see the marvellous view from the top again when I was diagnosed so you can imagine my excitement at taking our new arrival along for the ride.

He was born three months to the day after my Whipple op and three months was the minimum time that my surgeon said I would begin to feel something like normal – the oncologist unfortunately put an end to that target when I went on the capcitebane trial running in the UK for six months!

I have a fund raising page gving all the info at Just Giving http://www.justgiving.com/Malcolm-Robinson0 where you will see Joe and myself getting in some practice – although I have to confess we were walking on a dead flat beach when this pic was taken.

I’ll keep you all posted on how we do.
