Saying thank you to Southam Lions

*** Every penny raised will go directly to the Southam Lions so they can continue doing what they do best — changing lives quietly and kindly, without ever asking for anything in return.***

As many of you know, my husband Mark suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm back in January 2025 which caused a subarachnoid haemorrhage (a type of stroke). We thought he was almost back to full fitness and approaching the time when he could return to work but in May 2025, we found out he had bowel cancer.

Mark is currently undergoing chemoradiotherapy in an attempt to shrink the tumour before possible surgery. It's been a tough road for our family this year — emotionally, physically, and financially.

What many may not realise is that the Southam & District Lions Club, the very group I’m proud to be a part of, have stepped in to support us in the most incredible way. Most weekdays, a fellow Lion drives Mark from Southam to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire for his radiotherapy — and brings him safely home again. This allows me to continue to work full time.

They haven't just offered a lift — they offered dignity, relief, and a sense of being looked after by our community. It’s something we will never forget.

This isn’t a regular Lions transport service — it’s a gesture of pure compassion from my Lions family, who have gone above and beyond to support one of their own.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to say thank you.

Even though this support was personal to us, we know the Lions give their time, energy, and love to the wider community every single day. If you'd like to join us in showing appreciation for the difference they make, please consider donating or sharing this page.

Thank you so much

With love and gratitude,

Becca & Mark
