life.



Hi Friend,



I’m Gareth and I’d like to tell you about my Dad, Norman.







In 2006, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. For 10 years, his cancer was
kept at bay with hormone treatment. But eventually the medicine stopped working.
The cancer spread to his pancreas and lungs and he had to have his spleen
removed. Towards the end, the poor man could barely move.



In 2021, he called me to let me know that he was about to end his own life. By
the time emergency services arrived, it was too late.



Father’s Day should be a celebration of how wonderful Dads are. But for Dads
with terminal illnesses, it can be clouded with worry about their end of life.
Which is why I’m asking for your help.

THIS FATHER’S DAY, WILL YOU STAND UP FOR TERMINALLY ILL DADS FEARING A BAD DEATH
<FIRST NAME>? BY BECOMING A MEMBER, YOU’LL BE PLAYING A CRUCIAL ROLE IN OUR
CAMPAIGN TO LEGALISE ASSISTED DYING HERE IN THE UK. IT TAKES JUST 2 MINUTES.
Yes, I'll become a member >>

It’s heartbreaking to see your Dad face terminal illness and be unable to
relieve his pain. My Dad told me that he would end his own life before he let
cancer beat him. He said it right from the start. But he deserved better than to
die in that way.



This suffering could have been avoided if we had a more compassionate law to
allow assisted dying. I know my Dad would have chosen that and we could have
been there to support him at the end. That's why I'm campaigning alongside
Dignity in Dying, to allow terminally ill people real choice. Will you join me?

{USER_DATA~FIRST NAME~FRIEND}, NOBODY SHOULD SEE THEIR DAD SUFFER AT THE END OF
HIS LIFE. WILL YOU BECOME A DIGNITY IN DYING MEMBER TODAY AND FUND THE CAMPAIGN
TO GIVE PEOPLE A CHOICE?

Thank you for standing up for Dads like mine this Father’s Day. Together, we can
change the law to allow terminally ill people the choice they deserve.



Best wishes,
Gareth
