A family weekend at Center Parcs for Liam
37-year-old Liam from Lincoln was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. His Macmillan Cancer Care Coordinator, Candy, got in touch with Willow to arrange a Special Break for him.


“Our weekend was amazing. We could forget the diagnosis and just be happy.”
Liam’s story
“Liam’s cancer has now spread to his liver and as a result, he is receiving palliative care.
“The Willow team worked closely with Liam’s mum, Linda, to create special memories, especially with his two children in mind, who are ten and nine years old. She wanted to surprise them with a wonderful family weekend – which we did.”
“I feel so grateful for the memories you have helped us create.”
Liam spent a weekend at Center Parcs Sherwood Forest with his partner, parents and his two children, Darcy and Rory. The weekend included some exciting activities as well as rest and relaxation in the tranquil surroundings of the resort.
Afterwards, Liam wrote to Willow:
“Thank you for a remarkable weekend in the woods. My family and I had a fantastic, fun-filled weekend. Spending quality time with my children and parents was amazing, it was a time that the diagnosis was forgotten and we were just happy. Mary is a credit to the charity for what she arranged for us. I feel so grateful for the memories you have helped us create.”
