Interview of Nigel Whitaker
by Laura Chambers

As I start to ask more questions
behind people's businesses, I have
also become intrigued to know
more about what drives people
like Nigel to give up their spare
time to help great causes. We all
love the idea of helping, but it's
only when people like Nigel step
up and take action that
something begins to happen.

Nigel Whitaker is very sociable 53
year old family man who is
fortunate to be here today. At the
age of 24 he was diagnosed with
testicular cancer which spread to
his stomach and lungs, the
prognosis was very bleak. After
being treated at the Royal
Marsden Hospital after six months
of chemo and two operations the
cancer was beaten.

Nigel still returns every two years
for check ups but knowing Royal
Marsden saved his life, he wants
to raise money to help them do
this for others fighting their battle.

Nigel is such an
inspirational man and I urge
you to support his cause
however you can.

If you are able to donate to the
charity, provide prizes for
auctions or just help spread the
word it would really help.

So lets discover more about
Nigel's journey and the
charities he has decided to
help....
