In September 2020 Nathan was living his life as normal; playing football, working, spending time with his family and beautiful girlfriend Ella and looking forward to his bright future ahead, when suddenly his world was turned upside down with the discovery of a lump under his right arm.

The weeks that followed were a whirlwind of uncertainty and anxiety for Nathan and his family with extensive doctor and hospital appointments, tests and scans until he finally received the shocking and unfathomable diagnosis in December 2020 that at the age of 20, he had a rare, large and incredibly aggressive (grade 4) tumor growing within the tissue of his right shoulder (known as a synovial sarcoma), which would require intensive chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy.

Nathan is a fellow Tollstation league player but known the family through playing football with his younger brother for various teams. I wanted to do something to help support the challnge that has been set to help Nathan and his chosen charities, Teenage Cancer Trust and Sarcoma UK.

To try and support Nathans challenge, throughout March i will be running a minimum of 100 miles. So would apprectiate a donation however big or small, every penny counts.
