Wallsend RFC are raising funds for one of their youth players. Roman who plays in their U12 team.
On the 16th February Roman suffered a concussion in their game against Doncaster Knights.
After following the concussion protocol, Roman still had concussion symptoms and was taking to hospital by his mam.
The hospital admitted Roman and he had a few scans. He was then diagnosed with a brain tumour (not related to the concussion it had been there some time).
Roman will need an operation to remove the brain tumour and then chemotherapy.
This has come as a massive shock to both Roman and his family. As a single parent baring both the emotional and financial strain has been overwhelming. Romans mam has been unable to work since Roman was admitted to hospital and now has increased costs of hospital parking, eating on the go etc.
We would like to take away the financial burden from Roman and his family so they can concentrate solely on his treatment and recovery.
if you can spare a few pounds to help, it would be very much appreciated.
