In October, many of you know our daughter was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) — a rare and life-changing condition that causes tumours to grow on the central nervous system. Chelsea sadly has multiple brain & spinal tumours (and possibly more we don’t know about yet).

Since then, our world has completely changed.

She has already been undergoing treatment every two weeks at Manchester Children’s Hospital. Sadly, her case is severe, and we’ve recently been told she now faces two major surgeries, taking place back to back this May.

We are incredibly proud of her, but the road ahead is long, uncertain, and overwhelming at times.

There is currently no cure for NF2.

I had already signed up to run a 10K on 31st May, and after learning that May is NF Awareness Month, it felt like this couldn’t be a coincidence. I’ll be running not just for her, but for every family facing this diagnosis to help raise awareness and funds towards research and, one day, a cure.

If you’re able to donate, share, or support in any way, it would mean the world.

Thank you for standing with us 💙💚
