Anthea Carson, D. Phil. (1934 ~ 2001)


Co-founder of the CJS, Anthea finally lost her brave fight against cancer on Saturday 22nd September, 2001


Alto-soprano, botanist, computer programmer, conservationist, ecologist, forester, gardener, glider pilot, hill walker, journalist, librarian, lifeguard, ornithologist, pharmacist, ranger, researcher, swimmer, university tutor, volunteer and zoologist - I am privileged to have shared 25 years of loving marriage with this remarkable woman.

Her achievements were many, including the CJS itself, but perhaps the most lasting will be the 5 acres of native woodland which we fenced and planted at Sleights some 20 years ago.

‘She lived lightly on the earth and died gently in my arms.
Now her spirit soars above the wood we planted.’

The CJS is Anthea’s gift to you. Your gift to her can be any donation (in cash or in kind) to any cancer charity or charity shop in your local area, or to Leukaemia Research Fund,  43 Great Ormond Street, London WC1N 3JJ Tel: 020 7405 0101. Web: www.leukaemia-research.org.uk Registered Charity 216032.

Thank-you. Niall Carson.
