Joyce and John Shacklock

Joyce and John Shacklock set up Daniel’s Light in 1994 when their son Daniel was diagnosed with leukaemia and treated at The Christie, Daniel underwent many treatments and the care and the love shown to him will always be remembered. Sadly Daniel died aged 19.

Joyce and John made a promise that they would help to raise funds for the adult leukaemia unit in memory of their son Daniel. And this year they reached their target of raising an amazing £250,000. Over the years they have organised a whole host of events including coffee mornings, barge trips, hand bell ringing, disco and bingo nights, and even a duck race. Joyce said: “As always we are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to support us and keeps Daniel’s name alive. It is amazing that we have now reached our quarter of a million pounds target for The Christie all in Daniel’s memory.”
