Adrian's need to provide information on his sick dad spawned a website...

Adrian's parents: John & Maureen

When Adrian Doyle's dad was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour, it was clear to his family that he was going to need 24 hour home care. So Adrian and his three siblings took it in turns to fly up from the South of England to their parents' home in Glasgow.

Their father was a popular man with many friends and family all over the world. So the Doyle's telephone was constantly ringing with requests for updates on his health. Adrian's family found it draining having to repeat the story over and over again.

So Adrian came up with an ingenious solution...a website!
