<div>Imagine a world without Christopher's infectious smile, the warmth he brings to a room, and the way his love for his family shines so bright. This heart breaking reality became our new normal after Christopher's recent diagnosis of Peritoneal Disease, a rare and aggressive cancer.

</div>
<div>Just picture it: this incredible dad, who bravely battled and conquered Colon Cancer in 2023, now faces a new fight. The emotional and financial burden is overwhelming, especially since Christopher is self-employed. The thought of him missing precious moments with Roman and Leo, his amazing sons, is simply unbearable.
</div>

</div>
<div>Christopher's cancer of the colon has spread inside the abdominal cavity, leading to tumour deposits on the peritoneum, the inner lining of the abdomen and potentially to other organs and tissues, known as colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM). In some patients with colorectal peritoneal metastasis a specialist team can perform a surgical procedure known as cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to achieve cure or long-term disease control.
</div>
<div>During CRS, they aim to remove all visible tumour deposits in the abdominal cavity. This is achieved by a combination of peritonectomy (removal of the lining of the abdominal cavity) and organ resections (removal of parts of or whole organs).
</div>
<div>The abdominal cavity is then washed for one hour with a heated solution containing chemotherapy (HIPEC) to eliminate any microscopic tumour cells circulating in the abdominal cavity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Though long deemed an experimental procedure, CRS and HIPEC is now a firmly established treatment for patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases. With this procedure, long-term disease control can be achieved, with five year survival rates of at least 45 – 50%.
</div>

<div><br />
</div>
<div>But here's where you can be a hero in his story. The specialist treatment is only available through a private clinic and to be able to access this he needs to raise at least <strong>£70,000. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
