8 Year Challenge

Thursday 29th Oct 8 Years ago, at 12 Years old, I got diagnosed with Anaplastic Pleomorphic Xanthoastrocytoma or Cancer of the Central Nervous System (Head and Spine). Completed 30 days of Radiotherapy and lost my hair. Got bullied for it, had depression and suicidal thoughts. Relapsed in 2022 but managed to have a targeted therapy through pills that keep the tumour in check. I kept pushing thanks to my family and friends that truly cared for me and are now more mentally and physically healthy 8 years on and now 20. Unfortunately this year I had lost my Cousin who was diagnosed last year. It has cut me deep along with other family members or friends  who have passed from or even watching younger kids in my cancer wards  go through it. Because of this I have decided to finally give back. Every November I will do 3000 push ups for a Cancer Charity to raise money for cancer because I made a promise 8 years ago that I would always want no more diagnoses of cancer for young children or teenagers and anyone in general. Firsthand experience is truly not pleasant and would not wish it on anyone. Hope you will support this charity through my challenge. Thank you 🤩  Share
