Story
Michael is the most amazing guy I know, not because he is my wee brother, but over 10 months ago he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma bone cancer, his thigh bone snapped due to a tumour and his cancer had spread to his lungs also, he has spent the last 9 months in the beatson cancer hospital and had surgery to remove his tumor, his thigh bone muscle and hip were all partially removed and replaced, he never once moaned or gave into this cruel disease inflicted on him, he's received constant chemotherapy for over 9 months and we almost lost him to pneumonia just 6 days ago,.. but again he showed us all how strong he is and pulled thru.... He has 3 beautiful kids that he's devastated he can't be around each and every day,... due to his deteriorating health, but his kids are his inner strength that gives him his fight inside to push on each day. My wee brother is simply amazing and it's heartbreaking to see him struggle daily not only emotionally but financially,... Any donations received will go towards making life easier and less stressful for Michael and to help him enjoy a bit of quality fun time with his kids. Michael is loved and adored by all who know him and I hate seeing him suffer.
