Story

Chris's brain tumour became aggressive in Jan 2011 and 90% of it was removed the same month. Thereafter followed radiography and almost 2 years of chemotherapy. This helped to stop it growing so fast, enabling him to get on with enjoying life as he likes to do ! Between 2013 and 2016 however he suffered several strokes (one of which left him with only 50% eyesight) In 2016 a new tumour appeared and since last summer Chris has been fighting this bravely with ongoing chemo once again. After a faltering start, the last few treatments have thankfully slowed down the growing once again. 

This fundraising means so much to Neurocare and the people who have been helped and lives that have been saved by the kindness and generosity of the public.Every penny we raise helps Neurocare fund life-saving equipment and ground-breaking research and training, enhancing the quality of Neuroscience and Neurology departments here in Sheffield.Thank you for all of your support
