So please dig deep and donate now.

In January 2009 i was suffering from Frequent Head aches and i was dismissed from my doctor several times. eventually we were worried about how close together i was getting head aches so we went to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. Later, after scan's and test's i was diagnoses with a brain tumour. The Norfolk and Norwich didn't have the doctor's and technology to take care of me correctly so i was transported to Cambridge Hospital by and Ambulance. I had my operation and i was in hospital for a total of 6 weeks, and i was recovering gradualy. Now i have recovered extremely well. Which results in me being able to get back into swimming, diving, and other contact and non-contact sports.

I'm doing so well, i now have a gala on the 27th of November and i am in the top set of my swimming group. As of this i am going to be doing a sponsered swim, to raise money for the people who helped me and my parents be together during the time i was ill. I would like to help out The Sick Children's Trust so to find out more about them visit this website -
