In July 2020, my dad was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma - an aggressive brain tumour that has no cure, out of absolutely nowhere. We had no idea and overnight our lives were turned upside down. In August 2020 he underwent surgery, and then started chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and was lucky enough to be selected for a immunotherapy clinical trial. Thankfully, my dad is still with us a year on, but this condition has a 5 year survival rate of 20%. Glioblastomas affect only 0.00321% of the population. Or 3.21 individuals per 100,000. 

My mum has been absolutely amazing throughout this whole last year, from driving him to the other side of Manchester for his treatment everyday to giving my dad his medication each morning and night- she is such an incredible woman and I am so proud to call her my mum. 

To top it off, she’s running 5K everyday in October for The Brain Tumour Charity- a charity focused on research surrounding brain tumours and aiming to boost the survival rate past 5 years, and hopefully find a cure. 

If you could donate anything, it would mean the world, not only to my family, but also hopefully make sure in the future that no one has to go through what my dad has in the past 12 months.

Thank you

In essence yes.

Only concern would be the obvious with it being against Wigan. Wouldn't want anything to detract from the effort etc.

Alternatively, a walk fron town centre to the unibol, match and maybe event there afterwards?

Latics fans did the same route in reverse for Joseph’s Goal the other year and were well received with plenty of donations from BWFC fans tbf.

Bolton to UniBolt might be better though, if nothing else because it means it can be done sooner.

Oh my goodness Stu, we are absolutely speechless. Thanks do not even cover it, my mum is in tears. Please can you thank everyone for us, especially Stejay. We honestly can’t even comprehend how much wanderers ways have done for us in the past few days, thank you all so much

😢👏

Let's have it right it's a proper shit situation, but I think this is when we're best

Aye.

Perhaps the club would allow buckets to be passed around the stands or at turnstiles beforehand too?

Embarrassed. It’s not my money, I just made the contact.

BUT, it just reinforces the fact that this club is in the hands of bloody good folk who care and have a lot of class.

Proud to be a Wanderer, indeed.

Aye, that's what I was thinking with a game like Sunderland; if it's highlighted on their forum (RTG has a shed load go on it) and 4k of the buggers turn up encouraged to dig out spare change, then that's a significant amount could get "bucketed" in the space of an hour or so

Well played Steejay, great result.

Yeh, apart from the actual walk obvs.

Saw this while I was away.

Just an awful situation.

Great work Steejay

Like the sound of a walk from town centre to the ground

Top work mate. As we all know, this place is special.

Bravo @Steejay !

Town to Migglebrook for me. Wigan get enough attention and this is a bolton/Happy thing.

I’m in.

Maybe get some T-shirt’s printed up and we pay a tenner apiece, something along those lines??

Thanks to Casino I can now log in again and would like to make a donation. What's the best way?
