Floyd Update

Hello friends,

This is just a quick '4 years on' update on Floyd. Yes, tomorrow, 24th September will be 4 years since Floyd was diagnosed with leukaemia and given his 50/50 prognosis! Because we are so very happy to see these annual anniversaries pass, we just have to let the world know and remind you all how very grateful we still are for all the support and encouragement you gave us through that awful time.

Floyd is still as fit as a fiddle (annoyingly so!), mad as a box of frogs and generally living life to the full, every single day. Check ups at the hospital are now every 8 months. We still pop in to see our friends on the ward there and to give them any spare TV sets we come across as we remember the room-to-room bickering over who gets to borrow the only working set that week!!! (it's true!).

We have been having a lovely time just getting on with life and things are very much back to normal. Floyd treated himself to a Harley Davidson a few months ago and blamed everything from the cancer to a mid-life crisis but the bike is very special and looks fantastic.

We still stick very closely to Leukaemia Research and just cannot sing the praises of the charity enough, for all they do to help find a cure and the prevention of one of the worst forms of cancer we've ever known. They have shown us so much support too and we are very proud of them all!

That's it! Just wanted you all to know we are still around and grinning like idiots to see this 4 year marker go past us!

Much love,

Sophie & Floyd
