Grandad Dies of COVID-19 Three Weeks After Beating Cancer Covid claims Belfast dad s life 22 days after he beat cancer
Eugene Courtney, 63, contracted the coronavirus days after he survived prostate cancer. His wife, Kim Courtney, 61, said she was totally empty after he passed away three weeks of being diagnosed with COVID-19.
The couple, who is married for 13 years, celebrated Eugene s victory over prostate cancer on January 4. Still, the great grandad suddenly fell ill two days later and was immediately sent to hospital by ambulance.
Childs Farm donated 7,000 tubes of its Farmologie hand cream to the trust’s staff. The donation has been gratefully received by staff at the trust’s vaccination clinics at Royal Lancaster Infirmary and Furness General Hospital. Occupational Health Sister Heather Eastwood said: “Our vaccinators, like all our nurses and healthcare workers at the moment are having to wash their hands probably in excess of 100 times a day, which as you can imagine takes a great toll on our skin, so we are really grateful for the donation we have had from Child’s Farm. We are all making really good use of it.”
