| News in Brief |
Alex left Yarm in 2001, and he has since built a life and career in America, with his wife and three children, working as a talented and respected animator.
Tragically, Alex has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 pancreatic cancer. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy, with the hope of shrinking the tumour enough to allow surgery.
As a result of his diagnosis, Alex has had to stop work, and the financial burden of treatment in America, a close friend of his has set up a GoFundMe page to help support Alex and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
We are currently exploring ways for our upcoming Community Week to incorporate an element of fundraising for Alex.
Please read more about Alex’s story on his GoFundMe page and share the link : www.gofundme.com/f/support-alexs-fight-against-pancreatic-cancer
