My brother Chris got more than he bargained for when an MRI showed he didn't have an ACL tear but rather a huge tumour growing in his knee.
Manawatu / Whanganui
This year my brother had a fall at a skatepark. When his knee didn't heal as fast as his other injuries he went and got an MRI. He was thinking maybe an ACL tear but was told he had a massive tumour growing in his knee. One day he was a healthy 24-year-old and the next day he was talking surgery and chemo. No one ever saw this coming and with raising my gorgeous nephew who's 11months old the bills are starting to pile up. Chris is now in a full leg cast as his bones in his leg are at high risk for fractures. This means he is unable to work for the foreseeable future. He loves MMA and Brazilian Jujitsu and I see how much being immobile affects his well-being and the fact he is unable to carry on with his passion. I have flown back from Japan so that I am in the same country as him and my heart breaks to see him going through this. He was lost out of my life for 10 years due to me being adopted and I can't think of not having him around. I know 2020 has been a rough year for most of us but this has made it extremely tough for my brother not only physically but mentally. His battle will be a long one with many ups and downs but I don't want money to be one of them.
Please keep him in your prayers and I know he would be appreciative of any financial support you're able to give. From my family and his young family, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this.
I am his sister. Wanting to help raise funds for his family.
