After an amazing response from our last Just Giving page, we have decided to set another challenge. We believe that Alder Hey staff dont give up on our kids and work tirelessly, devoting their time, energy and love to supporting our children, therefore, we are not giving up on raising money for such a wonderful place.

Joseph is our inspiration, no matter what life deals him he manages to carry on with a smile on his face!! He was diagnosed with brain and spinal tumours due to a condition called Neurofibromatosis type 1, in November 2015, he has lost all of his peripheral vision and is now registered partly sighted, he has hydrochephalus and is developing scoliosis. His treatment of chemotherapy started in April 2016 and will continue until April 2018, however, he never complains and always goes to school when he feels better.

He has the heart of a lion and showed just how much courage he has by going to the ONE LOVE concert after being involved in the Manchester Arena bombing. He stared fear in the face and never lets anything get him down, His positive outlook and determination has allowed myself to get through college and start university to become a midwife, There were times when I wanted to give up but how could I? when Joseph never has and for that I want to thank him.

The challenge is yet to be confirmed medically possibly for myself, however, it does look likely that we will be abseiling!! all will be updated once given the all clear for that challenge inparticular.
