The foundation will provide donations and grants to other charities providing research, support, care and equipment to people suffering from cancer and/or requiring neurological surgery. Through this support we hope to be able to help with the journey that cancer patients have to undergo and also advance the quest to cure cancer and also to help keep up with the very latest advances in neurological care.
The foundation will also share Danny’s experience. It will not provide advice on treatment, opinion on research or methods – that is not our place. What it will do is share some of the feelings he experienced so that hopefully people in similar positions will know that what they are feeling is not unusual. It will also demonstrate that there’s a life to be enjoyed following major surgery of this type just like any other citizen.
We will aim to give hope, support and reassurance to others in similar positions through the telling of Dan’s story.
Finally, the foundation will enter into consultation with experts to explore the best way in which it can help patients whose friends and family are struggling to provide the support they would like due to their personal circumstances. We would like this to be a major part of the ongoing focus of the charity in subsequent years.
