Story

On the 4th of September 2007 Royal Manchester Children's Hospital saved my life. I had emergency surgery to remove a brain tumour, the size of a tennis ball. To mark the 10 year anniversary I am taking on the challenge of raising £10,000 by completing 28 challenges, one for every day I spent receiving amazing care! The challenge is #DuncansDecade

To put it into context, it is estimated that my care and treatment cost £15,000 and I am determined to put back what I took out, and more, so RMCH Charity can continue their life changing work!
