This time last year, our Chief Growth Officer J Cromack's brother Simon was sadly diagnosed with a glioblastoma brain tumour, which is an incurable, highly aggressive cancer. Simon's family and friends immediately sprung into action and created the Give Simon Time fundraising campaign, to help extend Simon's life through immunotherapy treatment not available on the NHS, so he can see his teenage daughter fulfil her dream of playing rugby for England's Red Roses, whilst continuing to be the amazing husband, father, brother, son and friend he is. So far, this appeal has raised more than £230,000 from over 1,500 kind donations and some incredible fundraising efforts, including: 🚵 Ryan Thomas cycling the Pyrenees mountains coast-to-coast from Biarritz to Perpignan in under 100 hours 🏊 Nic Warrington swimming 10km per week in a month (equalling 500 laps of her local swimming pool each week) 🏃Tom Smith and Jez Callum completing half marathons Not to mention the pub and pizza nights, silent auctions, rugby club fundraisers and people giving up time to drive for hospital visits. All this starting from the love and will of five volunteers, to the national campaign it's now become, with coverage from BBC news and radio, and rugby celeb shout outs – The Rugby Pod, Andy Farrell and Mike Tindall. The good news is, although it's been a very difficult journey, Simon's treatment is having a positive impact and giving him more time, with his latest MRI scan showing the tumour stabilised. However, the fight is not yet over. This treatment is vital and expensive – reliant on your generous support. This #VolunteersDay, during #UKCharityWeek, please read Simon's story and see how you can help #GiveSimonTime. Donate, volunteer, fundraise – every contribution makes such a difference 🙏 https://lnkd.in/e_Wk3NWM
