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...
