'If one single rose puts a smile on someone’s face they can forget about the cancer for five minutes.”

A dad who has battled cancer will be spreading some-much needed Valentine's Day cheer this year as he hands out roses to patients at the Beatson.

Kevin’s warm-hearted gesture has been very well received with a husband also thanking him for cheering up his wife. The family were so excited when she had her last treatment in 2021 but one month later Kevin was also diagnosed with malignant cancer. “I was devastated. This darkness comes on you. You think: ‘my goodness, is there a future?’ It is the cards you are dealt but my faith gets me through it. But I have had an easier journey than many.”

Although dealing with side effects from his cancer treatment, his recovery saw him campaign to become a councillor for his local area and he was elected months later.
