<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>

<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here is a little insight to Harry’s story:</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“My story began in 2007. I had problems with my eyes so after lots of visits to the opticians and the local hospital, the doctors gave me an MRI scan. They told me that I have a </span><a href="http://www.helpharryhelpothers.com/harrys-story/ssNODELINK/769"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">brain tumour</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"> which can’t be operated on as it’s in a dangerous place, deep in my brain.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I began chemotherapy, but it didn’t work and my tumour grew. My only other option was radiotherapy. That’s when I met Robert Harley, who was also having radiotherapy for a brain tumour. We had our treatment on the same day, every day for six weeks, so we became very good friends.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">In 2009 Robert became very ill so I decided to make and </span><a href="http://www.helpharryhelpothers.com/harrys-story/ssNODELINK/hh-mycampaign"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">sell beaded bracelets</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> to raise lots and lots of money for </span><a href="http://www.helpharryhelpothers.com/harrys-story/ssNODELINK/769"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">brain tumour research</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"> to help make him better.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Sadly four weeks into my campaign, my friend Robert died. I can no longer help Robert, but I know that he was proud of me and would have supported me – he wore one of </span><a href="http://www.helpharryhelpothers.com/harrys-story/ssNODELINK/hh-mycampaign"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">my bracelets</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"> too.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">I spend lots of time working on </span><a href="http://www.helpharryhelpothers.com/harrys-story/ssNODELINK/hh-mycampaign"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">my campaign</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"> so that we can make a difference to all people that suffer with </span><a href="http://www.helpharryhelpothers.com/harrys-story/ssNODELINK/769"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">brain tumours</span></a><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">.”</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Sadly, Harry’s health took a turn for the worst in July 2011 when he developed hydrocephalus which was caused by the growth of his brain tumour. He had an emergency operation on August 10 2011 which resulted in him remaining in a coma for over 13 weeks.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Harry also developed thrombosis of the brain and doctors advised Harry’s family to bring him home to rest on Friday 7 October. Harry passed away peacefully in his mother’s arms on Saturday 8 October at 11.10pm</span></span></p>
