Charles dedicates this website to:
This website is dedicated to my father. A wonderful, kind man who I loved deeply. I am convinced had my father not died prematurely of Cancer at 54 years of age he would have been a published author. He was robbed of his chance to achieve this goal and I have chosen to share the knowledge contained within this website in his honour.
I also dedicate this website to anyone touched by the ravages of cancer and the indelible mark it leaves on the lives of our families.
Enjoy the website
