<div>
 Just a few days ago, Mike’s life changed completely.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 After experiencing severe headaches, weakness, and other concerning symptoms, Mike returned to hospital for further tests. Following urgent scans, doctors discovered a large tumour measuring approximately 4.6cm at the front of his brain.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The tumour is causing significant swelling and pressure, and Mike is now under the care of the specialist skull-base neurosurgical team at the University Hospital of Wales. He is currently awaiting urgent surgery and further treatment.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As if facing a life-changing diagnosis was not enough, Mike had recently found himself in the difficult position of leaving his employment shortly before receiving this devastating news.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Anyone who knows Mike knows how hardworking, proud, and fiercely independent he is. However, right now, working is simply not an option, and there is considerable uncertainty around how long his treatment and recovery will take.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 The tumour and the swelling surrounding it has already begun to affect Mike in ways that are incredibly challenging. He is experiencing confusion, memory difficulties, and an increased vulnerability as he comes to terms with everything that has happened so suddenly.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As Mike’s partner, alongside two of his closest friends, we have created this GoFundMe page to help support Mike and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our hope is to ease some of the financial pressure so that Mike can focus entirely on what matters most — his treatment, recovery, and spending precious time with those who love him.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 At just 45 years old, Mike is facing a challenge that nobody expects to encounter, especially alongside the uncertainty of losing his job. While we do not yet know exactly what the coming weeks and months will bring, we do know that the road ahead will be a difficult one.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 What we also know is that Mike is not facing it alone.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 He has an incredible network of family, friends, and supporters standing beside him every step of the way. If you are able to make a donation, no matter how small, it will make a genuine difference. If donating is not possible, simply sharing this page would mean the world to us and help reach others who may wish to support Mike and his family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our goal is to give Mike some peace of mind and the security of knowing that he can focus on one thing and one thing only: getting better.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, generosity, and support for a truly remarkable man.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We're all with you, Mike. ❤️
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 One message Mike is passionate about sharing through his journey is the importance of trusting your instincts when it comes to your health.
</div>
<div>
 If something doesn't feel right, keep pushing for answers.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Too often, people dismiss symptoms, delay appointments, or accept reassurance when deep down they know something isn't right. Mike's experience has shown just how important it is to listen to your body, ask questions, and continue seeking medical advice when concerns persist.
</div>
<div>
 Early diagnosis can save lives. Persistence can save lives.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Mike hopes that by sharing his story, others will feel empowered to advocate for themselves, their family members, and their friends. If you are experiencing symptoms that concern you, don't ignore them. Seek advice, ask for further investigation if necessary, and trust your instincts.
</div>
<div>
 This journey has been life-changing for Mike and his family, but if sharing his experience encourages even one person to seek help sooner and potentially changes the outcome for them, then some good will have come from an incredibly difficult situation.
</div>
<div>
 Please share Mike's story. Together, we can raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis, self-advocacy, and never giving up when you know something isn't right.
