Helen

Paul here. There's a new fundraiser for Brain Tumour Research, a charity supported by Helen. Matilda & I are helping as two of the faces of this year's Wear a Hat Day: facebook.com/donate/2025215…

@mkfm has done a great page about Helen, including a recording of her tribute show from this weekend: mkfm.com/mkfm-featured/…

Helen's funeral will be on Friday 12th July at 10.45am, at Crownhill Crematorium in Milton Keynes. Led by @PeterCrumpler. And afterwards a CAKE PARTY. Full details on FB. Please respond to the FB event so we can estimate numbers facebook.com/events/4578562…

Yesterday, we learnt that our friend and broadcaster Helen Legh had passed away. She was diagnosed with a glioblastoma in 2014. Her husband Paul told us: "The huge outpouring of love has been a great comfort for us this week." 💕 Read Helen's story 👉 lght.ly/153nok3

3/3 Please don’t send any cards, gifts or flowers. If you want to do something, you can make donations to Willen Hospice in her name here: justgiving.com/fundraising/he…

2/3 We listened to A-ha, chatted and laughed. Exactly as Helen would have wanted it. Don’t be sad. Helen would want you to celebrate her life and how AMAZING she was. I’ll announce her funeral details here when they’ve been arranged.

1/3 Hello, this is Paul, Helen’s husband. I’m sorry to tell you Helen passed away at Willen Hospice yesterday afternoon. She’s been peacefully asleep for much of the last 10 days or so, and wasn’t in pain. Her last afternoon was with her family and some of her many friends

I blame the bloody drugs. 😗

Apparently I have lost the ability to quickly write. That tweet took a tortuous 3 minutes.

Sitting here staring into space. That’s doing it for me. #braincancer

Now for brain chemo. Can’t remember what day it is. #whoamI

Not walking much. Radiotherapy addled. Chemo starting on Monday. Wheelchair bound. Useless shaking arm. But going home. #PositiveRehab

@CerianJenkins Lovely.

Change of plan. Coming out today. It’s been a long 8? Weeks. Made many friends. Staff and patients. Tho shocking state of the NHS. Too much paperwork. Not enough staff.

Spoke too soon. Two seizures in the last 12 hours.

Looks like I am going to be ready to come home this week. Care plan pending. Wheelchair in tow. #positverehab

Great idea. If only my memory retains it 🙄

@RibenaRosie Little girl. Mad brutal father. Guns. Teaches her everything he knows. She gets old er and wiser and starts to realise everything is wrong.

@Helencakefiend Without too many spoilers can you tell us a bit about subject matter ?
