Camuldonum 0 Posted August 5, 2009 [quote user="On the way to Yeovil"]Three weeks ago I was rushed in to hospital and was told I had cancer. I have all but lost the ability to walk as the cancer is on the spine. My wife phoned the club to ask about changing my season to one in the disabled stand, which they said they would do no problem. They asked what was up with me and my wife explained all that had happend. Two days later a parcel arrived at mine and inside was a letter saying how sorry the club was to hear about my illness etc and wishing me well, plus a signed shirt. To me thats what our club is all about, what a lovely gesture that they didnt have to make. Cant imagine Man Utd or even Ipswich doing that. Thanks Norwich you cheered me up no end,[/quote] A lovely gesture which makes up for some of the "other things" in football.Very best wishes for a speedy recovery from me, also.

YankeeCanary 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Yeovil, like everyone else my best wishes will be with you as you face your challenge. You seem to be the type that''s up for the fight. While you will be having treatments I''m sure your time will sometimes be limited. However, why don''t you consider joining the best team on this forum that contributes a weekly selection to Rays funds for the Academy with the Pink un Pickers." It''s the thread at the top of the forum. Nutty Nigel explains what it is in this weeks thread. It''s just a small thing but it will keep you focused on the positive contribution you can make each week for the benefit of NCFC. If you can focus on a few dozen small things that you continue to do for others that will go a long way to keeping your spirits at the top of their game in the coming months, and others around you will be inspired by you.
