    Story

    Thank you for taking time to read my story.

    Many years ago, my partner Damian was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Things were hopeful for a while until the cancer became more aggressive and started to spread and grow quicker than the treatment was working. This meant that the treatment was making him sick for a whole of nothing. 3 weeks ago the doctors came to the decision to stop his treatment all together and he was told to let the illness take its toll. He was sent home with pain meds to help and no further hope.

    We refuse to give up on his treatment and have been told that his last chance is a treatment which isn't available in the UK. We would have to travel to America. We have been informed that this treatment has a success rate of 98%. But like with any treatment is other countries it doesn't come at a fair price, this treatment has a cost of around £8,000.

    We are appealing for help and donations towards the treatment cost and this possible life saving trip to America so Damian can have peace of mind and come back to watch this children grow up.

    Help make Damian's dream come true and let him have the life he's missed out on for the last 8 years.

      Page has changed from trying to raise £8,000 to £4,000 thanks to an external source. We are half way there, getting closer to be able to get Damian to America :)
