My Story
This is Nick - My best friend! In 2015, at the age of 29, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He spent the next 5 years battling the disease whilst simultaneoulsy getting the most out of his life, even as his condition worsened. He married the love of his life and became a Dad to his beloved twin girls.
Early in 2020, Nicks diagnosis became terminal and sadly he passed away that November at the age of 34.
Nick really was like a brother to me: loyal, intelligent, patient, compassionate, a fierce competitor and very, very funny.
We did everything together growing up: same classes at school, played in the same football team, traveled wherever we could, made fun of each other a lot and were even best men at each other's weddings.
Now I, along with his incredible wife Victoria, and 2 other friends are attempting to raise money for the hospice that provided Nick and his family with care and comfort at the end of his fight. So, we are running the London Marathon - something that Nick had been preparing for before the pandemic and his subsequent decline in health.
It would mean the world to me to be able to show my apprectiation to this Hospice that cared for my friend and family when he needed it most!
Thank you!
