James Austin Garden Fete Fundraiser
Katherine Austin is raising money for Young Lives vs Cancer
Story
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. My name is James Austin, and on the 15th March 2016 my life changed completely when I was told I had a large brain tumour on my right frontal lobe. I had brain surgery to have the majority of it removed and on the 28th of March a biopsy revealed that I had a stage 4 Glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer.
I then had a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and now have decided to use alternative medicines to fight this as best I can. I have since gone back to work, I continue to play football and generally try to live the best life possible!
Throughout my treatment I have been overwhelmed by the support from my family, friends, charities and even strangers. CLIC Sargent stepped in during my treatment to offer me emotional and financial advice when I needed it most. I have decided to set up this page to try and give something back to people who have supported me.
A group of my mum's friends, lead by Wilma Ford, have organised a Garden Fete fundraiser with half the proceeds going to CLIC Sargent. The fete will take place on the 5th August 2016 12-3pm, at the Old Children's home Risk Street, Park Hall. Please feel free to pop along!
I have been asked to set this page up for anyone who won't be able to make it on Saturday and would like to make make a donation.
Thank you everyone for all your support... it really does mean the world to me!!
