I woke up on August bank holiday in 2024 with lower limb numbness, back pain, urinary incontinence and the inability to bear weight on my legs. I was admitted to Queen's hospital in Nottingham for an MRI scan on my spine. I was diagnosed with metastatic spinal cord compression as a result of a prostate tumour. I am on chemotherapy for stage four cancer at present. St Barnabas Hospice have been amazing by providing physiotherapy and emotional support for both myself and my partner. I am asking for your kind support and donations for this wonderful, caring charity. If you are around on the 14th December at 11am come and support me on this journey.

Your fundraising will help to ensure that St Barnabas Hospice can continue to care for patients and families, every day of the year. For example, if you raised £65, this could help to fund a community nurse visit for two hours, offering personalised, expert care within the comfort of a patient’s home.
