Hey Rod,
Thanks for your super kind message.
It is probably my first and last dry July. I don’t know if I’ll ever rally so much support again!
Absolutely sucks about what your brother is going through. But he’s lucky to have you and those who love him close by. And maybe, just maybe, the efforts we will all be putting in today may save someone else in the future and keep another family together for longer.
Yes I lost my mum earlier this year. Far too quickly after finding out the diagnosis. Lung, to blood, to brain.
She would have been 70 in July. Which made the month that bit more meaningful.

Hope you have a cheeky drink today, perhaps even in the presence of your brother and get a moment to reflect in quiet satisfaction of what you’ve achieved.
I would say “go sharks” but - I just can’t force it. I’m sorry. 😆

Keep smiling and keep that glass half full.
And in the words of my mum “fuck cancer”.
