Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 29th July 2019 I was diagnosed with a rare cancer called 'Ewing sarcoma'. Only 2 in 1 million people to have this diagnosis. Ewing sarcoma is a soft tissue cancer and in my case, has given me two large tumours,  one sitting at the top of my thigh and the other in my pelvis. After further scans we also discovered two smaller tumours around my abdomen. This cancer is treatable which has allowed me to go on an intensive treatment plan which involves chemotherapy every other week for 12 months.

Since getting this diagnosis I have been keen to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust who help so many young people like myself through the most difficult hurdle in life. Over these next 12 months it is my goal to achieve this high target of £20k for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Any donation will be greatly appreciated to help many other teenagers like myself.
