Walking our Midnight Walk in memory of David

Louise, who works for Persimmon Homes, only signed up for the walk recently, while David was still receiving our care, as a way of helping give back.

She said: “A lot of friends were saying to me, I really wish we could do something to help him. And, obviously, there was nothing that any of us could actually do. So, I suggested we all take part in the Midnight Walk.

“David knew that we were doing this for him, and he sent me a text message saying he knew what we’ve been up to and how much it meant to him.”

Louise and David first met many years ago when they used to work together at Bakare and then in more recent years at Secure Innovation and became firm friends.

“St Luke’s is a fantastic charity, that has looked after one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. David showed so much strength throughout his treatment and living with his terminal diagnosis. He was just a true family man. He would literally do anything for his family and friends. I really think that it is because of the person he was, that is why we’ve had the support that we’ve had.”

Paired with their pink Midnight Walk t-shirts, the group will also be donning festive Christmas-themed accessories, in honour of David, as he loved Christmas so much.
