Help the Petches make memories

Those of you who know and love Keith, will know that he has been through a lot this past few years. Keith has been battling cancer, In May of 2019 Keith was diagnosed with a rare form of bowel cancer and had surgery to remove the mass. All was well and they carried on with family life, sadly the cancer returned. In 2020 during the pandemic, Keith had complained of pain in his rib area and had been referred to have this looked at, due to Covid 19 there were delays in diagnosis and eventually it was found that the cancer had reoccurred, this time in his liver where there were found to be 7 masses. Surgery was again scheduled and in November 2020 as much of the tumours removed as possible. After attending Christie's for an appointment in April 2021, they received the devastating news that the cancer is now incurable. Looking ahead all care for Keith now is palliative and centring around prolonging the time he has left with his wife, Jo, and his children Lucas, Noah and Dylan and his elder son Sam.

 

Keith is still working as much as he can to try and provide for his family. Keith is a proud hardworking man who's began chemotherapy to try and remain around for his boys and his lovely wife, for as long as he possibly can. Taking the time to attend chemotherapy and still working as much as possible to provide financially for his family, under extremely difficult circumstances. He is also not yet being supported by any sort of financial benefits during his illness.

 

 

Myself and my family have put this fundraiser together with the idea that the money raised here go towards giving Keith, Jo and their family some options on how to make the most of the time they have left together, also, as a keen golfer we do hope to raise some money to send him on a golf trip if his health allows.

We hope this may also offer some security for Jo and the boys to ensure that they'll be ok financially when the worst happens. 

 

 

I think everyone who knows Keith will agree with me that he is very loved by many, he is a loving father, partner and friend. Keith has shown resounding strength and resilience throughout this ordeal and will continue to do so as he works through this with his family. 

 

 

Any donations that you can spare will go towards realising this dream. Thank you xxx
