00:00 Chloe, Stephen's wife, Stephen had a fuel tanker crash two years ago now where we found
00:08 out he had a brain tumour. It's been a tough couple of years, he had to learn to walk and
00:14 talk again and then we found out it was cancer. So he's been on radiotherapy, chemotherapy,
00:23 all while we welcomed our first daughter and that's why we're fundraising for immunotherapy
00:31 treatment because it's a better outcome. The chemotherapy, they can say that he's got about
00:40 14 years whereas immunotherapy works to shrink the tumour. The chemotherapy he's receiving
00:48 it's never going to shrink the tumour, it's just to maintain it. So it's going to give us a better
00:54 outlook and hopefully have as long as we can as a family. But yeah, the immunotherapy, we've got a
01:03 contract with the people but it's not going to start until we've got the funds because they need
01:07 the funds up front for it. Target was £50,000 and we're about halfway there. I think we're at
01:14 £24,000 something so to get even halfway there has been amazing. But yeah, just the last half to
01:21 go now. So it's got the ability and like trials that they've done, there's people who've had
01:29 tumours and they've managed to become tumour free. So obviously if you're tumour free you've got,
01:35 I'd say you're back to square one with the possibilities. But it certainly will outlast
01:43 14 years that chemo offers them. It is hard, yeah, there's been a lot of down days but
01:51 I don't know, I try and stay positive so think about what could be and then if bad happens I'll
01:59 deal with it when it happens.
