Hi,

Just a heads up for those of you who know Alan Jenkins (AlthePastFinder).  He is losing his battle with cancer and has been given a maximum of 3 months left to live.  He is very tired, doesn't go online anymore and I know he would appreciate hearing from anyone who would like to send him a message.  Please pm me it to me and I'll pass it on.

Thanks,
Shianne

Hi Shianne

Thats awfully bad news - I really like Alan - He is one of our earliest members and I have always enjoyed having a chat with him on DW Rallies. I particularly remember Alan's numerous "Santa and Christmas Carols" related posts! He'll know what I means Smiley

Please send him my best regards and tell him to keep his chin up and keep fighting.

Kind Regards
Neil & Katie

That's sad news Shianne.

I only met Alan once or twice at rallies, but he's someone who has been a fantastic ambassador for the hobby.

For an example, see here, also featuring our own Roman Ray and Colin Hansen from FID:

I dont know Alan but please accept my regards as he sounds like a well respected and loved person. I only wish I had had the opportunity to meet him as he would have found the that we have something in common and probably found another new friend
Please pass on my best from Alun Jenkins Neath

Hi again,
I went to see Alan tonight, he's in hospital again, and he wanted to thank you all from the bottom of his heart for your kind messages.  He was a bit tearful but they meant the world to him. 
Thanks for taking the time to write, or rather type (!) them.
