Our FastTrack Birmingham Office have submitted a team for
the Charity ‘It’s a Knock Out’ Event on Sunday 3rd May 2015! Our FastTrack Team
will be raising money for Motor Neurone Disease in support of Tom Stevenson, a
fellow consultant over at PSR who has sadly recently been diagnosed with the
disease and it therefore raising both awareness & money for the cause!
'The Battle Fund' was set up by Tom when an overwhelming
amount of support was shown to him following his diagnosis. The fund will provide Tom access to
Alternative treatments, of which are not currently available on the NHS. The
fund will also help pay for costly travel arrangements for any treatment or
therapy available outside of the UK etc. If deemed necessary the funds raised
would also be used to improve the quality of life for Tom through his journey
with his diagnosis.
It provides emotional and financial support to Tom Stevenson
and his wife Lian during their battle to defeat Tom's diagnosis of Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis.
This is Tom's
story...
“Wednesday 9th October
2013 Tom was dealt a bad card in his life, he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone
Disease...
The initial shock was
terrible but he thought about how he was going to fight this battle. There are
two paths to go down, one is to sit back and hide away and deny it, not see
anyone and let the stress and anxiety eat him up which is what the disease
wants him to do, or the other path which is to accept it and put a plan in
place to defeat it. The brain is a very powerful machine which can be fixed as
long as you have the right mentality and support around you. At the moment
there is no cure, but isn't that the same for many illnesses? There are excellent treatments and with help
from others STAYING POSITIVE and BELIEVING that we are going to get through
this battle then that is the best treatment anyone can have. He is not looking
to receive sympathy, he wants to see positive responses because he is a strong
individual and will beat this but he will need the help from family and friends
on this journey.
He looks at this like
a game of blackjack - him against the dealer.
He has been dealt a bad hand a 10 and a 3, the dealer gives himself a
King, Tom has two options. Stick on 13
and accept the dealer will beat him or take a gamble and fight and defeat him
and turnover an 8.
Tom has taken another
card and turns over an 8 which gives me 21, the dealer still has a chance he
turns over a 6, his final card needs to be a 5 but he turns a 10 which means
he's bust and is defeated
Tom is not hiding away
and wants people to channel positive thoughts and energy to him and that
process will get him through his battle.”
FastTrack have managed to donate £250 to the cause and now
it’s your turn to help! Please share ideas and interact with the rest of Tom's
Army, create awareness of your fundraising ideas etc. Together we can beat the
dealer!

(MUST READ: HOW I GOT CURED FROM ALS (LOU GEHRIGS DISEASE)
ReplyDeleteI am Karen, I was diagnosed of ALS (Lou Gherigs Disease) in 2013, the doctor told me there is no permanent cure for the disease, i was given medication to slow down the progress of the disease, at the initial stage it was not so bad till it progressed to the end middle stage were i had difficulties going about my daily functions as i constantly felt weakness in my legs, ankles and feet, i was totally devastated till my husband’s co-worker Mr Kenneth told us about a herbal doctor from South Africa who have herbal medicines for all kind of diseases including ALS, when i contact this herbal doctor via his email, he sent me two bottles of ALS herbal medicine through courier service, when i received this herbal medicine, he gave me step by instructions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was cured of the disease within 22-24 days of usage. Contact this great herbal doctor via his email ejiroherbahlcure@gmail.com or call +27617403481 Goodluck
I just hope my story gives hope to someone out there. I am 57 and i lost my husband 8 years ago to ALS and our ignorance then is to be blamed for it. Our doctor then put my husband on various therapies and he ended up on an electric chair and a feeding tube. Four years after his death i was too diagnosed with ALS and this time i never wanted to end up like my husband and i just had to seek alternative treatment. I tried various alternative treatments like acupuncture, cannabis oil, holistic treatment and several therapies from professionals from around the world but my situation worsened as days went by and i was closer to my grave than i thought, i cried most of the time watching myself fade out of this earth slowly and watching me become a shadow of myself, thought about my lovely kids also who was one of the major reason i needed to fight ALS. I was fortunate enough to read several testimonies online from various ALS patients on how a herbal medicine "ELIXIR" cured ALS. This was like a dream come through. I contacted Dr Joseph and placed an order for "ELIXIR" and 3 months later the improvement and treatment is what i can describe as magical. Today i am still very healthy and active and completely free from ALS. For professional advise and how to get the medicine reach Dr. Joseph on josephalberteo@gmail.com I hope you never give up because there is so much to live for.
