To all my Facebook friends and family. An old friend of mine Ex Army (R Signals) is terminally ill and Is “praying for a miracle” after being given just months to live.

Phil Cox has spent the last 16 months battling aggressive tumours which are rapidly growing throughout his body.

To add to his ordeal, he recently received the devastating diagnosis of Leptomeningeal Disease - an incurable complication of cancer which spreads to the brain and spinal cord.

Phil who is only 36-year-old, lives in Billingham with his wife Kerri, 41, their son Joe, four, and Phil’s step-daughter Keira, 10. He has been told he could have less than a year - or as little as a few months - left to live.
I am trying to raise funds to help towards saving their family home and making life a little easier.
