To my Darling Dale..
Off to lunch we will go for our "Beer and a Bet Day" on what would be your 24th Birthday. I thought this year we would try out The Sun Hotel. Will go to Sizzler during the week when Mitchell won't eat them out of Cheese Toast. It would be nice if you could send a bit of luck for the bet though - Will go for the Roosters over the Chokers. :)
Every day I think of you and miss you as much as ever. I often get emails from your friends, or from people who have been to your site and have found some inspiration from it. Check out the messages - Eryne even found a Maverik impersonator!!! So many little things that happen each day remind me of you and they always make me smile. The main one though is thanks for making sure the big screen TV works each week in time for the football. Damn thing won't work the rest of the week. (except for mid week State of Origin games). It's doing my back in carrying the one from the bedroom out and back each day!!!
Much Love today and every day - have a little drink with Pop and give him our love also.

I think Dale would like some focus placed on making people aware that Colorectal Cancer is not just an old person’s disease. When you are 17 years old, you don’t expect to get Bowel Cancer. Dale used to say he would love to go visit high schools and tell the kids that they need to be aware of their family medical history and if they have any symptoms then to Tell Someone and Don't Be Embarrassed!!! He never got to do it.
Bowel Cancer screening in Australia is great if you are an older person. Most people don’t think to get their kids checked if there is a family history of it. But PLEASE – this is a serious disease. I would hate for other people to be without their children because they didn’t realise that it could happen. And that’s what it comes down to. You Just Don't Realise That It Can Happen.
The important thing is – Ask Your Doctor.
As a parent, I would rather see my child go through 6 days of fasting from certain foods once a year, than not having my child tested at all and facing having to be without them – like we are without Dale.
