PART 1 OF HIS AMAZING JOURNEY 17 MARCH 2011 SOUTHPORT HOSPITAL TO THE WALTON CENTRE
As part of Brain Awareness Week (BAW) 2011 Joe Paton, family and friends walked from Southport Hospital to The Walton Centre, a journey of 17 miles to celebrate his discharge from hospital in 2010 to help raise funds for The Brain Tumour Support Group and Neurosupport where the group meets.
Joe started his medical journey in Southport Hospital in 1997 and was transferred to The Walton Centre in 1998 where a brain tumour was diagnosed for the start of a long journey. One part of that journey was to learn to walk again. Over the years Joe has had many obstacles to climb but has managed to overcome them all.
