I joined Dover Community Radio (DCRFM) in 2011 and had great fun presenting my radio shows. When our daughter, Kelly, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer I paused my radio activity in 2015. I later rejoined DCR in 2018, a year or so after the tragic loss of Kelly whose death, caused by DSRCT cancer, occurred when she was just 17yrs old. Those who now walk the newly created Marina Curve will see a memorial bench for Kelly as they walk from the landward side of the Curve on the pathway running alongside the Marina basin and not far behind the new building which houses the Marina operations centre. The bench is the closest to the Ice Cream vendor which would make our Kelly chuckle. My Wife Linda & I still fundraise for research by The Institute of Cancer Research for a Chemo or cure for DSRCT.
