This week has been very eventful. I went to see our
consultant at Stanmore and he said that he’d offer follow-up appointments after
I get my surgery. We were worried about what his response would be, but he
quickly put us at ease, telling us that he’d be happy to support us along the
road, despite the fact that the NHS doesn’t currently provide the procedure. As
it’s a new surgery, I hope that my results would be very beneficial to his
research and hopefully that will help other sufferers in the future as it could
aid the reintroduction of VBT in the UK. It was really nice to get this
reassurance and I’m feeling a lot more confident about the near future.
Also, last weekend, a boy in my year threw a party for his GCSE
in enterprise and gave all takings to me to go towards my fundraising for my
surgery! I went to the party and it was amazing; everyone had a great time and
I loved his Tiki-inspired garden. It was huge and he had a fantastic house; it
felt like something out of an American movie. It was very cold though – I’m very
glad that we missed the snow! I think that he’d make a very good club-promoter.
The other big news this week is that we’ve launched our next
event. On the 15th of April, there is going to be greyhound racing
at the Harlow Dog-track. They’ve kindly donated tickets for us to sell and all
proceeds will be going to my fund. Tickets cost £5 and can be purchased through
our GoFundMe page. It will be lots of fun for the whole family and is at the
normal admission price plus you get a free drink! I hope to see you there :)
Courtesy of these latest events, my fund has comfortably
pushed over the £12,000 mark!
