Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I'm supporting Chordoma as my younger brother, 34 years ypung, was diagnosed early last year. He has undergone two major surgeries in the past 9 months. After initially getting the fantastic news that it had been removed, they have since found Chordomas further up his spine and on his ribs. He has undergone intense radiotherapy and various medication and strong painkillers. As it is now in multiple places in his body his condition is terminal, however he is going to be starting a treatment that they say showed 'promising' results when tested. This will hopefully prolong his illness and give him more time with his new wife and young children.

As Chordoma is so rare (one in a million) and there is still lots to learn about treatments it's important that the foundation receive donations. I am hoping to raise funds for the foundation and raise awareness to this quite unknown and rare form of cancer. I would really appreciate your support 😊
