He had lots of symptoms for a six month period that the doctors couldn't explain but it was because the tumour was pushing on his brain."
"At this stage we don't know how long it's going to be before he gets out of intensive care, what exactly the road to recovery is from there, or if he will have any function loss or permanent damage from what he's experienced.
"I'm walking from QMC to Farnsfield where I live, trying to get as many walkers involved and his mum will be walking with us in Nottinghamshire. Our initial target was to do a collective 500 miles but I think we've go well beyond that."
