Angela Robinson died after battling with this brain cancer in December 2002 at the age of 39. Angela, a successful fashion designer for Marks and Spencer, lived in Islington, London, with her husband Tony and their 4 year old daughter, Mathilda. When Angela was diagnosed with a brain tumour she responded well to the radiotherapy but symptoms such as speech problems returned and chemotherapy was the only remaining option as the tumour was too close to her optic nerve to operate. Sadly the tumour took hold and she passed away. Angela’s Cousin, Louise Norman, held a Ceroc Night for “Lawyers in a Spin” on the 8th March 2003 and raised £1,275. Louise also received a further donation of £500 from the Charitable Trust of a Law Firm.
Every year a number of fundraising activities are organised. In 2005 these included the London Marathon, a car boot sale and a local flower show. Flowers were very important to Angela, who loved her garden, so raising funds through a flower show seems particularly fitting.
