Marc Banks' daughter Tahlia lost her long and difficult fight against Cystic Fibrosis last Friday. We cannot express how difficult the time is for Mark, Tammy and their son Ethan.

Tahlia's efforts to overcome Cystic Fibrosis was managed with a great spirit and positivity. It was hoped that her young age could have being extended for many more years but despite a lung transplant and many other methods of treatment this has not happened.

Marc has expressed his generous thanks for the support he and his family has already received over the recent years. We hope and wish our thoughts and sympathy for Tahlia's family, will support them for the years to come without their precious daughter and sister.

Many of us at Aston have played with Marc and his brothers, so we can be sure that his close family will be supporting Mark and his family at this tragic time.
