Remembering Roy

Roy Castle was a beloved entertainer. He could dance, sing and act. He could play dozens of instruments and held multiple world records. But this isn’t what made him special; it was the selfless way he lived out the final few months of his life.

30 years ago, Roy embarked on an epic three-day journey – the Tour of Hope – raising the profile of lung cancer and funds for essential research.

To commemorate this special occasion, we want to hear your memories of Roy. Leave a dedication to one of the good one...

Leave a Dedication

It's 29 years since we lost this beautiful lady to lung cancer. Sadly the Tour of Hope was never going to save my mum, but in Roy's own words "this Tour is for the next generation" and he was right. 30 years on thanks to Roy's selflessness, Ray Donnelly's vision and the work of the charity, we have lung cancer screening and treatment options. Hope indeed! Roy reminds me of my mum; selfless and strong, I wish they were both here to see how far we've come. Love you mum, and love this charity xx
