My close friend Andrew Gray, husband of Sue and father of three young kids Thomas, Darcy and Amy has Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma (ACC) caused by a cancerous growth in the adrenal cortex. He is now stage 4 with tumours spreading to liver and lungs after already having an adrenal gland, kidney and 1.1kg tumour removed. This Cancer is as rare as rocking house shit as most adrenal gland tumours are non malignant. Only 5-10% are malignant.
Andrew now needs to undergo extensive chemotherapy which will take him away from his family for at least 6 months as he's unable to travel once starting treatment. The risk of catching an illness during travel is far to great to allow travel as you are unable to carry on with any treatment if the immune system is compromised. Needless to say there is great expense associated with such treatment. We alll know Andrew will fight this and win but I just want to help lighten the load for him by helping a little financially so he can concentrate on ridding his body of this evil shit. So I'm dedicating my Solo swim to Rottnest island to help raise funds from you guys.
