Trying to do some good even as the end came
The friends and family of Leyland newly-wed Charlotte Nicol who died last month after being diagnosed with a brain tumour in April have raised £50,000 in her memory.
"And Charlotte was adamant that any money donated would be used for research and treatments for all cancers, not just brain tumours which are relatively rare, she wanted the money to help as many people as possible.” James, 33 said: “We got married in December in a small ceremony in Antigua. International travel restrictions had made it difficult to plan anything so we just said, ‘why not?’ And just went and did it, just the two of us, and it was brilliant. We hadn’t been married long when we both got Covid. Then we got over it and Charlotte kept on getting headaches and we just put them down to long covid for a while.
But as she was due to start radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment in June a scan showed the tumour had grown back significantly. Charlotte organised her own funeral and said goodbye to loved ones before passing away three weeks later, on July 7, at the Marie Curie Hospice in Hampstead near hers and James’s home.
