For more than 20 years, Des Jarvis has been at the heart of the Ryde community, running his traditional butcher shop, DW Jarvis Family Butchers.
Now, Des is facing a battle of his own.
Four months into his treatment for stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Des remains positive and determined.
As a show of thanks to Macmillan Cancer Support, Des has pledged to donate £1 from every sale of his popular Christmas hampers to the charity that has helped him through his cancer journey.
His oncology team is confident in his recovery, and Des is already looking forward to giving back to those who have cared for him during this challenging time.
Known for its entirely gluten-free produce, the shop has built a loyal customer base, and Des has always gone the extra mile to offer more than just high-quality meats.
From affordable winter hampers designed to provide warmth during colder months to generous discounts for frontline workers during the pandemic, Des has continuously supported the community he loves.
He hopes his loyal customers will continue to support him by ordering their hampers from DW Jarvis Family Butchers once again this year.
Despite his diagnosis, Des remains as committed as ever to serving the community.
His shop continues to thrive, and with the help of his dedicated team, he works tirelessly to keep the doors open.
