pcassist Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) As some of you are aware my beloved wife of 41 years "Barbara" and staunch Latics Fanatic, was diagnosed with MND (Motor Neurone Disease) in July 2012, unfortunately her consultant tells us now this horrible disease is taking it's final toll on Barbara's health and overall condition. As a family limpetlad and nobby.com with the help of Naomi (my daughter) we are staging a Charity Concert this Sunday at Tapio's in Middleton (see below). We are trying to raise funds for the MND Association and Marie Curie Nurses who are both helping Barbara as her time draws nearer, we have a Facebook page click here, if any of you fancy a great show for an hour or two on Sunday afternoon, please come along ALL welcome and I mean ALL. Barbara's been to the last 2x home games, but we've had to leave early because it was too cold for her, some of our friends say they wish they had joined us, on leaving that is. Regards Ian G.

razza699 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sorry to hear. I cannot make Sunday unfortunately. But Such a good cause could I make a donation to yourself anyway? Marie Curie along with Macmillan helped my Mum in her final days a couple of weeks ago they are fantastic people. I hope you can have as much time with your wife as possible over the coming months as time is so precious, 4 months my mum battled with cancer and it seemed like 2 minutes. Good luck Mr Assist hope you can cope as well as you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barryowen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ian I was unaware of this awful news. The Owen families thoughts and feelings are with you mate. I am away this weekend after the game so cannot attend. I would like to make a personal donation and I know the Trust would help if you want to run anything to raise any funds. When you feel able please give me a call if you choose. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millibob Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hi Ian Very sorry to hear your awful news, keep the faith and this will see you through these sad times. Sorry I can't make Sunday, mate, however I hope it goes very very well. I am sure one of the office laptops is in need of your TLC and in the next few days I will give you a bell and send Chris up with it and also a donation to your two chosen causes. I lost one of my best mates to Cancer late last year and I know just what you are going through. Take Care - Brian Millington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I will make the time and get down Ian. Maybe for a couple of hours only. but none the less you and the family have made the effort to help the charities concerned. See you there. Best wishes to Barbara, Lags.

leeslover Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If you post the details up I will happily make a donation. Macmillan Nurses did a fantastic job when my Aunt fought what turned out to be an extended battle against cancer. I never forgot that one of her main carers came to the funeral. Always a charity I have time for. All the best to your family Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limpetlad Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Little bit of an update for those who are interest. Mums currently in Oldham Royal suffering from what looks like Pneumonia. In her fragile state this is not good. She's a lifelong latics fan and has been to more games than i can remember. I'm hoping we can give her a win on sunday. Bump because I thought it needed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope she's on the up or at least settled and we can give her a performance on Sunday. Edited January 25, 2013 by razza699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
