We are asking for people to help us and donate some money for Gary Bensons funeral.
Gary was such a hard worker and was always up and down the ladder when doing what he loved best which was roofing! But sadly, he was diagnosed with bowl cancer in September 2015, but refused to let it beat him! When he got diagnosed Gary didn't want to give up... so he started boxing and juicing and didn't give in, even the doctors were baffled by his test result after his livers and kidneys were almost perfect again! He had such a strong determination and he refused to let this beat him. He refused any chemotherapy treatment and his attitude to life was so strong.
As time went by, Gary unfortunately started to deteriorate and the pain become a lot worse - but still refused any treatment from the doctors! The love of his family, friends and his wife Sandy (who was his rock) kept him fighting for as long as he could. But sadly in late August this year, he was admitted to St Mary's Hospice where he renewed his vows and spent his last 6 weeks here. The staff were absolutely fantastic! But sadly he passed on September 30th after fighting such a huge battle.
We would love to give him the send off he would of loved and that he most definately deserves! We are looking to raise as much as we can, so please be generous and donate as Gary didn't have any savings or money saved.
We will be so grateful for anything that is donated. If you knew Gary then you would know he would of helped anyone as much as he could!
Thankyou
