Mum's last-ditch fundraising bid to beat brain cancer

Nic with Mae and Finn

Nic is 38 and the mother of  two beautiful children, Mae 9, and Finn 6.  In May last year, Nic was diagnosed with an inoperable brain stem tumour and since then has received radiotherapy at The Christie She has been  given a 10% chance that this will keep it at bay for a while.... Nic is doing amazingly well to be where she is today.

After lots of research by both Nic and her husband Ceri, they have found a clinic in Houston Texas, that can treat very rare forms of cancers. Its a very different approach to treatment and the doctor is pretty controversial and never makes any claims that he cures everybody, but its the only place in the world that offers any glimmer of hope. Faced with such odds, anybody would try to do what they can to live a normal life, As the treatment can only be administered in America it’s expensive, but only comparative to what you would have to pay for treatment here if we didn’t have the NHS. Nic, Ceri and her family need to raise enough money for 2 years treatment (as a minimum) which will be about £200,000.

Nic just wants to be around to see her children grow up. It’s that simple. At present they are just short of £90,000 since starting in January this year. An incredible effort from everybody involved and they are humbled and so grateful for all the help they have received.

A website has been set up to provide more information and links through to donating etc www.nicsroadtorecovery.co.uk and twitter @nicsrecovery and a facebook page under groups nics road to recovery.

SO WHATS IT GOT TO DO WITH ME AND WHY AM I OFFERING TO HELP- PLEASE READ ON, NO GIMMICKS!!

Well it's quite simple, I have two lovely children and a wife  and up to know I am healthy. I was indirectly approached to help raise some money by holding a Charity BootCamp in November and to be honest its the least I can do by offering 60 minutes of my time, if it will help raise money and help a family in need then yes I am more than happy to do so.

The Charity BootCamp is to be held on the 10th November, 10am at  Newall Green High School  South Manchester, the cost is £10 per person and is open to all fitness levels. Prior to attending you must register your attendance on the Please Contact Me Box to ensure we can accommodate all attendees 

Please please send this on to as many people you know in  Manchester it really would be great to help and the more people we have the more money we can raise , if you cant attend but you would like to help, then please feel free to  provide a donation at www.nicsroadtorecovery.co.uk  

Thanks for your time,  Sean
