my name is Adrian Overington.

i have recently been diagnosed with an aggressive and progressive cancer in the oesophagus. The diagnosis is, adenocarcinoma of the lower oesophagus,

Having worked so hard to recover mobility from my stroke in 2020, it is a cruel blow. However, I have worked relentlessly over the last 18 months to lose 11 stone. With time extremely critical now, it is my intention to fulfil my ambition of walking the equivalent of the London Marathon.

I will complete this over the next 28 days. At the time of writing, there is no curative strategy and as such it is my aim to raise as much money as possible for this wonderful cause. The monies raised will go to St Luke’s Cancer Hospital, external treatments and various aids to utilise for my recovery post chemotherapy and operation. These will include a recliner chair so I can remain part of the family during the day, new bedding, supportive wedge pillows, physiotherapy, special nutritional food, shower chair, new pyjamas and other recovery aids.

Whether you can contribute, sponsor an item or simply share my appeal, thank you. Your kindness would mean so much to Catheryn and me.

kind regards,

Adrian
