Warrington family of Pete Boardman present cheque for £2,350 to the
Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology. Mr
Boardman, 70 who died on 22 January at his home in Woolston had received
three weeks of treatment between July and August 2007 at the specialist
radiotherapy unit on the Wirral. His
wish was that donations be given, to further progress the research into
brain tumours being undertaken at Clatterbridge. Pete’s
wife Wendy Boardman said: “The kindness and generosity shown by his
friends and family is a clear testament to the impact Pete had on many
lives. “He
felt passionately that any monies that would normally be spent on flowers
should go alternatively to where it will be of biggest benefit.” Mr.
Boardman was past president of the Burtonwood Association and Warrington
Photographic Society. Although
he had to relinquish his active involvement in these organisations due to
ill health, he kept a keen interest in their work. The
cheque was presented to Deborah Fearns who works on the fundraising team
at Clatterbridge. Wendy
said: “Pete was always a fit and able bodied man who had never spent a
day in hospital. “It
was only when he was diagnosed with his tumour that he realised how
important the work of a specialist team, like those at Clatterbridge is
when faced with a terminal illness. “As
a family we are thankful to them for their care and support, and to all of
those who made their love for Pete clear with this overwhelming
donation.”
