FOOTBALL!

A game of passion, excitement, and sometimes, unexpected twists. For my cousin Shay Emerton, a casual kick-about with friends on April 10, 2021, took a dramatic turn. He suffered a Grand Mal seizure, followed by respiratory arrest, and was rushed to hospital. The diagnosis was devastating: an incurable brain tumour.

Some time over the next eight months, Shay underwent a gruelling 12-hour awake brain surgery, relearned to walk and talk, and battled a life-threatening infection. His journey has been marked with resilience and determination, inspiring those around him.

The charity walk ‘Yorkshire Three Peaks’ we are organising aims to give hope to individuals like Shay, who’ve faced similar traumas, and show them that life can still be fulfilling. We’ll also raise awareness about brain tumours, which can affect anyone, regardless of age.

Shockingly, brain tumours claim more lives of children and adults under 40 than any other cancer, yet receive only 1% of national cancer research funding.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help us make a difference. Let’s come together to support those affected by brain tumours and work towards a brighter future.
