tumour returned, the cancer spread to other organs and Marilyn died at the Jersey Hospice five days before last Christmas. Her strong-knit family resolved that some good should come from her passing and so Operation Daffodil came to life. On 1 August, the cycle team begin a 5,000km ride from Bodo in the Norwegian Arctic Circle to Gibraltar. The three-man team - Marilyn’s son Lee Vivian, son-in-law Wayne Meenagh and grandson Harry Meenagh will travel through Denmark, Germany, Holland and France before arriving in Jersey where they will spend the only scheduled rest day of the trip. On Monday 26 August they will head for Gibraltar through France and Spain. They’re planning to complete the marathon ride on 15 September - a few days after the National Day of Gibraltar. Music - so much encouraged by Marilyn - is the other major fund-raising effort. Later this month there will be a series of free concerts leading to a Grand Finale at the Opera House on Sunday 25 August. The concerts will feature a host of local and UK talent with the Gala Concert hosted by, and featuring, UK jazz singer and BBC Radio 2 presenter Clare Teal. Virtuoso UK pianist Neil Cowley will be performing as a soloist and with the Operation Daffodil All Star Big Band.
