On Tuesday 3rd October 2023, a group of mainly unfit individuals are pledging to walk the 26 miles from Fowey to Home Park, Plymouth in one day ahead of the evening game versus Millwall that day.

In doing so, we are aiming to raise awareness of Bomber’s story and raise additional funds through sposnorship to support the very generous donarions already given to Kate and Bomber. Each trip costs £5000 and he will meed more than the intial 5 trips proposed.

if you wish to join our journey to support Bomber on this day , please contact myself or Bomber himself for details. This will be no easy journey given the people marching. Please give generously to see us struggle and , more importantly , donate to a great guy and cause.

Bomber’s Story

Since mid 2020, I have experienced Similar side effects to IBS along with crazy stomach bloating like a balloon going off in the belly , high blood pressure and, in the last year, bleeding was found in my stools and black stools on occasion. I booked an appointment with my GP #staustellhealthcare.

They told me my bloating was a diet issue and to cut things out of my diet, and keep a food diary. Fast forward to summer 2021 and I was told my stools were nothing to worry about even though my stomach was still really swelling up ! I had numerous blood tests, 2021 and 2022, but nothing picked up.

Finally, at the beginning of December 22, I had chronic abdominal pains and went to doctors again and was told it was trapped wind ! I could take no more on the 4th day, now violently throwing up. I was rushed to hospital where I was told it was my appendix.

After CT scan, I was led into a room where my whole life came crashing down in 1 second , being told I had an aggressive tumour that’s fit to burst in my bowel and they needed to do life-saving emergency surgery ASAP, but also the cancer had spread to my liver, making it stage 4.

After 8 hours of surgery, they removed the cancer from my bowel and reconstructed it, then spent 4 days in intensive care and 12 days on the ward. I was a lucky boy to get through. They saved my life.

Waking up the next morning and being told they had eradicated the cancer from my bowel, but unfortunately I now have to deal with my secondary cancer on my liver had 12 rounds of folfoxiri and after 5 rounds had stabilised my liver tumours but unfortunately after the full cycle of 12 rounds the cancer had grown. I also self funded a drug called Avastin on last four cycles along with other chemo.

I Have now been given a tablet drug called longsurf this has made me very sick and horrible side effects but I want to explore all my options as this was the last drug the NHS. An offer but was told it will have very little or no effect , but after lots of research by myself and Kate we were delighted that Germany could give us another lifeline.
