Ralph Ellis RIP
We at the FWA are heartbroken to hear the news that our dear friend Ralph Ellis passed away this weekend.

In typical style, Ralph battled the illness with determination, optimism and good humour, and only three months ago he cycled to Amsterdam to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.
