Trent Holmes rides again!
Ok, now technically I did say that the next post on this page would be to announce that the online shop was open. But last night I bumped in to friend & neighbour Trent Holmes. Trent is one of those guys who is a great sounding board for projects like ours.
Some time ago he was diagnosed with cancer of the mouth and throat. The story of how this came about is in itself a salutory lesson for all of us. Trent started to feel pain in his tongue and mentioned it to his dentist. The pain was being caused by an agressive tumour and he wouldn't have felt a thing if it'd been 5mm away from where it developed and the result wouldn't have been good. Surgery was fairly immediate and this was followed by chemo and radio-therapy. Trent is now recovering and is now able to speak.
As a "thank you" to the staff at St Lukes Cancer Care Centre at the Royal Surrey hospital he and his Harley Davidson biker chums are doing a 1000 mile round Britain trip in a 24 hour event. Trent, we don't reckon it'll just be your mouth that's sore after that!
Trent's main wish is that more people learn something about this type of cancer and that you'll be more aware of the symptoms. And he says "Visit your dentist - it'll be him that spots it!
Well, good luck Trent and glad you're still with us. Happy to give your marathon fund raising effort an airing on the BreezeBlog! Check-out the widget below to learn more...
