Story
This is my Brother Matthew, 2 Years ago after some nasty head pains he was rushed to hospital. It was then we found out that there was a mass on his brain, he had it removed it was tested and Matt was told the news that it was Cancer. which is called right cerebellar Anaplastic Pilocytic Astrocytoma (High Grade)
Matt has had 6 wks of Radiotherapy followed by 6 months of chemotherapy which ended December 2017.
Then in May 2018 he had headaches again Matt had another Scan it was discovered that it had spread and he would need another operation to remove the tumour to which they managed to removed most of it in June he had swelling on the base of his scar which was fluid build up. he has then had to have another operation to drain the fluid from his Brain they put a shunt in to help drain the fluid.
Everything seemed Fine he managed a holiday to Devon his favourite place but in September he started to fell his balance wasn't right so contacted his Doctor who arranged another Scan he had the results Oct 18th 2018 which showed it has spread more to the left little ones are forming he has to have the last lot of chemo they can give after that there is nothing they can do for him.
Matthew's last wish is visit Normandy Beaches to pay his respect's because he feels they gave up there today's so we could our Tomorrow.
I Would Like to raise funds to make this happen for him. at the moment he does not have a passport which we would need to fast track and his insurance for the trip would be high also and with travel staying high to as we are unsure on time he has as it could be only months rather then Years would like to do this for him asap
Thank you for Reading
Daniel (his big Brother)

I am Matthew's big Brother and I would like to make his wish come true as he would like to visit the Normandy Beach landings at the moment we are unsure of time so I decided to make this page for him
