Donate in Simon Shepherd's Name
Simon Shepherd "Si" was a brilliant Market Analyst on our Market Strategy & Intelligence team at Sun. He worked out of the London, UK office; was with StorageTek before Sun and with IDC before that.
Simon helped size and scope the early markets for new Sun innovations like Project Blackbox (Sun Modular Data Center) and Thumper (Sun Fire X4500). He was given the task to size markets that essentially didn't exist at the time due to his creativity, hard work and intelligence.
Unfortunately, Simon's 14-month battle with glioblastoma (brain cancer) ended several months ago. We have lost a great man and colleague who was in his youth. Simon is survived by his wife Stephanie and young daughter Scarlett.
How can I help?
Simon was very aware of the lack of research into glioblastoma due to lack of funding, and his wife has asked for our help. If you want to help and give hope to others who have the same diagnosis as Simon's, then please donate to the following requested charity:
The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign
The Institute of Cancer Research
123 Old Brompton Road, London SW7 3RP
You can donate by check or credit card online at:
Please note that the donation is in memory of Simon Shepherd and they will ensure that it goes to the right fund.
