After her mum was diagnosed, Taylor wanted to do her bit for a good cause
A seven-year-old girl from Lincolnshire will be attempting 10,000 football keepy-uppies as part of a charity fundraiser, after her mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Samantha Jose, 34, went to the opticians after struggles with her vision – it turned out she had a brain tumour. | Photo: Brain Tumour Research Samantha was then transferred to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham, where a surgeon told her that the tumour could make her go blind, due to it pushing down on her optic nerve.
Samantha struggles with exhaustion and her memory at times, but lives to tell the tale after being diagnosed with a disease that kills more people under the age of 40 than any other cancer. The One Million Keepy Uppy Challenge encourages people to contribute 10,000 kick-ups towards an overall target of 1,000,000 – which is a symbolic number as £1 million is how much it costs to fund the Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence each year.
