Neil was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 46. After spending two years in and out of hospital, he returned home to spend whatever time he had left with his wife Georgina.
But Georgina struggled to care for his complex needs on her own until Marie Curie stepped in. "When Marie Curie called and said, 'We're sending you a nurse tonight,' I just burst into tears. I have no idea how I was functioning.
"To know my husband Neil wasn't going to be in pain and there was someone that was right there next to him to give him pain relief, that feeling was indescribable."
