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

RIP Happy. Thoughts with his family and friends

 

I have just received this message from Neil’s daughter

Hi Horwich, I know you’ve seen my Facebook post but I just thought I would let you know directly about my dads death. He died at home holding hands with my mum this afternoon at around 12.45. I’ll let you know about the funeral arrangements once we know so you can let the rest of ww know. Thanks so much for all your kind messages on ww, my mum and I have been reading them. Xx

RIP Neil. Thoughts with your family.

RIP Neil 

To his family my condolences

In setting up this Website Neil created a go to place for thousands of Wanderers fans to catch up on news and to share views from wherever in the world they happen to be.

In so doing he contributed massively to the cause that is BWFC

For that we are forever grateful 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RiP, didn't know him but what a job he's done over the years with Wandererways.  Its a great legacy to Neil.

Rest in Peace Neil.

As H said, thankyou for bringing us all together. Some great friendships have been born out of this place. 

Condolences to all the family, sincerely hope it was as peaceful as possible.

Love from all over this way.

Awful news to hear. Glad that he was with his wife as he passed though.

Much love & thoughts with all the Thompson family.

Rest easy Neil & thanks so much for bringing me mates and memories 💙

Gutted 

This place is his legacy 

Been part of my daily life for 20+ years 

Brought so many folk together 

And even a marriage 

Done us proud 

RIP Neil

R.I.P Neil, condolences to his family, friends and everyone on here, we’ve lost a belter who brought us all closer together.  

Sad news, RIP Neil....

Much love to his family xx

Thanks for everything Neil, great bloke brought together loads of people, what a legacy.

Sad times. Rest In Peace Neil

Rest in peace Neil. 

Echo the comments on here already. Thanks for bringing us together. 

 

This is such awful news.  What a bloke, he probably didn't realise how much of a legacy.  I made a lot of lasting friends through this place and so many belly laughs I can't count.  Cheers Neil xxx

Thanks Neil. From the bottom of my heart.

Love to his nearest and dearest.

A toast being raised to a proper Wanderer.

Again, just thanks.

😢❤️

Very sad news. My condolences to his loved ones.

Never felt as upset as this about someone i have never met. As others have said, what a legacy Neil has left. Rest in peace Neil
