I would like to thank you for your support and coming to my aid.

I have recently been diagnosed with inoperable cancer of the liver and kidneys as well as a brain tumour. I have restored testimony in my faith, not only the Lord but you my trusted family, friends, old colleagues, team mates, fans but generally the whole sporting people and general public of the NE and far beyond....I believe in people again, so don't disappoint....

I want to raise hope for my family, myself and others alike and I need your support to make dreams become a reality. The dream is to support four charities that are very close to my heart and are currently supporting me through this process. I will be holding four events for each charity:

Restart Rugby - Whitley Bay Rockcliff First Club

Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals (NHS Foundation Trust for FREEMANS & RVI) - North Shields RUFC

Cancer Research UK (Cancer Brain Tumours) - Percy Park RFC

I will also be setting a Trust Fund up for my daughter - HOPE ELLE

I ask you collectively to help me support each and every one of these mentioned. I have a tough time ahead but this will give me the strength to fight! 

TANK BATTLES CANCER - YOU MY TANKIES GO TO WAR!
