Walk Together 2019 in memory of Gordon Squires

Story

Team Squires are taking part in Walk Together 2019 across London, to support Bowel Cancer UK in memory of our beloved dad/grandad/hero Gordon, who we lost after his brave four year battle with cancer in September of last year.

All the money we raise will help in the effort to stop people dying of bowel cancer by funding vital services and lifesaving research. Raising awareness is our goal.

We lost our dad to this disease on the 11th September 2018 and almost 1 year to the day he passed we are raising funds to help find a cure and encourage earlier screenings, so that countless other families won't have to go through the pain of watching their heroes lose their superpowers and have their loved ones taken well before their time.

Gordon worked across London throughout his life, delivering tools, nuts and bolts to independent garages and motor trades across the city. We are walking across London in his memory and so that others still have the chance to make more memories of their own.

Well, we did it! It took us about two and a half hours as we had to wait for Nanny, but thanks to yourselves, and your wonderful post sharing and donations, so far we've raised £450 for Bowel Cancer UK! That's more than the cost of one colonoscopy on the NHS and potentially one life my dad might have saved, and that's something he would be more than chuffed with. Thank you everyone, you can still donate and share - our aim is to promote awareness and encouraging families to have a chat and make an appointment without delay.

Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared/retweeted our post so far. We currently stand at a whopping £205 but for every share, someone may book a GP appointment they were putting off so please keep sharing. Thank you to everyone. Team Squires x
