(nano knife)Since George was diagnosed with a rare cancer (rhabdomyosarcoma) on his liver/bile duct on 3rd August 2023 (a date we will never forget) he has been on a really tough journey,. This has included 9 rounds of chemo and a ground-breaking IRE prodedure plus resection to remove the tumour from his liver/bile duct. As I update this page (10th May 2024) George is in good health and doing well!

Despite it all he is brimming with energy (full of piss & vinegar as my dad would have said) and generally in fine form. We can't thank the teams at GOSH, Kings and St Mary's Hospitals and Prof Leen, Prof Stebbing and Prof Zacharoulis enough for their kindness, support and professionalism. A special thank you to the surgical team (under Prof Nigel Heaton) at Kings for pulling off the increadible result for George

We - everyone on Team George - have done really well too with our fundraising! Smashed the original £20k with some amazing charity runs - special thanks to Bhavin Shah for getting this started - and then Sara Wakeling at Alice's Arc for the 1/2 marathon place this summer. The pre-Christmas running culminated in 84 runners taking part in the Regents Park 5/10k race last Sunday (26th Nov). The charity rugby game in St Albans on 30 Dec was great too (thanks again Mick!).

The long awaited SKY-DIVE is next up - rescheduled for sometime in April. Kate, Stu, Sharon-Jump-Suit-Jeetha and I will be throwing ourselves out of a perfectly good plan in Oxfordshire all in aid of Team George.

Then the running is back!! Firstly, the MANCHESTER MARATHON - courtesy of RORY WILLIAMS (aiming for sub 3 hours.....GO RORY!!) on Sunday 14th April.....followed a week later by the LONDON MARATHON on Sunday 21 April, when Bhavin Shah and I are running (and walking!) for George.

Finally, we have the Team George GOLF DAY at Brocket Hall on Wed 1 May. Tickets are still available for this event - please contact me if you would like to play. Thank you Stu Williams for organising this event for Team George.

In addition, we are likely to be doing another Team George 5/10k park run towards end of April/early May dates to be confirmed so watch this space!

These events should be a great way of allowing Team George to give a little (more) back to these 4 amazing charities (see below).

We hope through raising money for these amazing charities we can make a difference to future children and parents who may end up going down the same road as we are travelling - it’s not an easy journey.

Despite it all, George remains in tremendously high spirits. He is one tough cookie. Together we WILL help him get through this and go on to live a long and fulfilling life.
