ERIC BON'S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM

In December 2021 Eric unfortunately became unwell. This followed with him having a mini stroke. After having many tests, scans and then a biopsy he was given the worst results

Stage 4 Glioblastoma. It is a highly malignant form of cancer that affects the brain & Spinal cord. In simple terminology it’s known as The terminator of all cancer there is no known cause as to why some get it, but there is no cure either. Unfortunately, the location of Eric's cancer means it is in-operable. They are doing a fast approach with Chemotherapy & Radiation to try and slow the cancer down. Since the diagnoses Eric had another minor stroke which has left him paralyzed on his left side making everyday normality's incredibly difficult. This has left him wheelchair reliant to get around. Understandably there is some frustrations having to rely on others & having access to a mobility van so he can get out & about. Eric is currently in a rest home/palliative care unit, I know Eric would love more than anything to be able to go out & do things with his family & friends. Although activity’s will be limited and remain locally It would give him the boost he needs. Eric is strong, brave and courageous and although the odds are not in his favour he is ready for the fight, even if it’s just for more time. My hope in doing this is to allow him more freedom and invaluable time with those he loves and respects. Eric was always the first to raise his hand, now its time for us to raise ours.
