Fundraising for British Acoustic Neuroma Association CIO
Story
In 2018, I was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour, an Acoustic Neuroma. A couple of months later, I was diagnosed with Sarcoidosis, an autoimmune condition that affects my lungs. I also suffered a haemorrhage just weeks before having surgery to remove the tumour.
Whilst successful, surgery left me unable to walk, with profound hearing loss, dizziness, nausea, tinnitus, vision problems, and facial palsy along with chronic fatigue.
It has taken an incredible amount of hard work to get where I am today, but I haven't let any of this stop me from living my best life.
In September 2022, to show others that despite life throwing curveballs our way, we can still achieve, I aim to run from Land's End to John O'Groats. I'm also hoping to raise funds for the British Acoustic Neuroma Association and Manchester Skull Base unit (FBT).
This is my way of giving back to a community that has helped me so much and proving that we do not have to be defined by what has happened to us.
