On the 15th December 2017 my whole world changed. My fit and healthy mum at only 54 years old was diagnosed with a Brain Tumour. I was told that if she didn't have an operation to remove the Tumour, she'd have 2 months maximum to live.

After 6 hours brain surgery (awake!), my brave mum was told that although they removed 99.6% of the tumour, the left over tumour was stage 4 Glioblastoma. That small 0.4% is deadly and i've never felt such anger over a percentage in my life.

Glioblastoma also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is the most aggressive cancer that begins within the brain. We were told that with Radio therapy and Chemo she still only had 14 to 18 months to live. Unfortunately the amount of radio therapy to kill the tumour would kill her.

As there is no other option for treatment in the UK, I got straight on the computer to research as much as I could of this awful disease and if there are any chance of a cure which brings me to why i'm here.

In Germany, they have a treatment called "Immunotherapy" which has been proven to help and destroy Glioblastoma for good, giving mum a chance are a life that this horrible tumour was going to take away.

So this is my challenge, I will fight every day for this treatment and I will do ANYTHING for my mum to be able to watch me grow up, get married, have kids.. all the things she should be able to do and I will be able to do if I raise this money.

Thank you,
H

P.S I will still be climbing Ben Nevis, so don't worry!!
