In memory of
My husband and best friend Sumeet chadha
7th Dec 1970 - 4th Jul 2016
My Story
My husband Sumeet was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour Gliosarcoma grade 4 in October 2015 . It was / is the cruelest of diagnosis’s and even with aggressive and intensive radiotherapy/ chemotherapy and surgery he survived only 10 months . He and those he loved endured so much during his illness and we are forever changed and our hearts are heavier , he was only 45 .Brain tumours are sadly the biggest cancer killers of children and adults under 40 and only 19% of all brain tumour diagnoses survive beyond 5 years, yet only 2% of the research budget at present is spent researching them . I’m doing this walk in loving memory of sumeet but also to raise funds directly for brain tumour research . Thank you .
