I have been asked by Peter to place the following 'Press Release' on MotorhomeFacts...
Only recently, Peter had to tell his friends on MHF exactly what was happening with his health as so many had queried the sale of his beloved Chausson Motorhome . His news was distressing. Initially, we saw some hope for him.
But the last few days have been incredibly hard for Peter, especially when he had to hand over the keys to his MH.
It was only last week that Peter received a plaque and citation in recognition of his work for Stammerers and Clutterers. Peter is a clutterer and has clearly worked tirelessly, for many years, to have the communication problem recognised by the professionals. Please read about his presentation by following this link.

In the photo, Peter is the one in the dressing gown!
Peter went to Grimsby Hospital today (Wed) to find out when his chemotherapy would start. The delays have been horrendous and have added to his stress, and that of his wife Chris.
It is with great sadness that I pass on Peter's news... He will not be having Chemo. There is nothing that can be done for him. Time is not on his side.
The better news is that Thursday, 9th April 09, is Peter's 61st birthday. Perhaps we, his friends on MHF, could find some time to send some birthday messages to him, via email, PM or open forum, to try to make this birthday a happy one. If he is strong enough, I'm sure he will enjoy reading them. But it is unlikely that he will reply to them.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this post.
I hope you can get to read this thread. You have a large number of friends on MHF, and I suspect many of them haven't even met you face to face, but feel that they know you from your help and advice so freely and generously given on here.
I have had the pleasure of meeting you on a number of occasions, and have always enjoyed our chats - the first on the French rally a couple of years ago. That was your first time across the channel in a motorhome, and you approached it with some trepidation, but also with an eagerness to experience something new. It must have been a success for you, since you followed it up with a trip of your own the next year. I admired you so much for that, and for the way you've faced up to a number of difficulties in your life - head on, no nonsense, a "let's see what we can do about it" approach. I'm sure you're facing this latest in the same way.
May we both wish you a very happy 61st birthday, and to assure you that our thoughts are with both you and Chris at this most difficult of times.
I am sorry to hear your bad news, i have a similar with a member of my family recently. Having said that, i am very proud and honoured to wish you the best birthday i could wish. It isn't often in life you get to speak to real special individuals, and so often they are overlooked.
It is fantastic all the work you have done for others, and i am sure there are many out there that owe a great deal to you! Not just sufferers either, you have educated proffessionals too! That is one acheivement that you should be proud of! If I ever acheived half what you have in my life, i would be happy. You are a good man Peter, a saint to your cause! Go and have yourself a great day!
Hi Peter,
Saddened to read your news. We did meet once on the Lancaster Bomber rally. They are usually pretty good at looking after you in Grimsby Hospital. Keep the chin up, happy birthday.
