On Saturday , Bill and Toffee will be taking part in the Brain Tumour Research charity’s Milton Keynes Walk of Hope. The 10km walk will follow the city’s redways, starting and finishing at the charity’s head office in Shenley Wood.It will incorporate scenic views of Furzton Lake and pass through the leafy suburb of Emerson Valley. Bill, 76, said: “I’m looking forward to it. It’s too late for Sue but it could help others – every pound helps.
She managed to call one of her two daughters who alerted Bill. He found her in her car overhanging a T-junction. Bill, a former automotive engineer who worked mostly for Ford and Cosworth, said: “To hear the person you love only has months to live is gut-wrenching. We were married 21 years but knew each other for 40.
Toffee’s owner lives about a half mile from Bill and the pair met whilst out walking in the village. Jane mentioned that she did not know what she was going to do with Toffee when she returned to work. Bill’s local pub, the Foresters Arms, has donated £300 of quiz winnings to his fundraiser.
