Meet our amazing fundraiser, Nigel Chidgey and his wife, Helen, a brain tumour survivor and member of our Fundraising Committee. Nigel took on the Chicago Marathon on 8 October 2023 to raise money for The Giles’ Trust and raised an incredible £1,300!
Helen and Nigel have always led a healthy lifestyle and enjoy keeping active, so it came as a huge shock when Helen was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2012. With two young boys to consider, the focus was on Helen’s recovery whilst trying to lead as normal a family life as possible during an extremely difficult time.
Thankfully, Helen’s tumour was benign, but complex surgery was still needed to remove it. Nigel remembers, “Those eight hours whilst Helen was in theatre felt like the longest of my life.” Helen’s recovery was slow and Nigel’s running hobby helped him cope, helping him to clear his head and relieve the stress. Nigel had always wanted to run a marathon and also wanted to support brain tumour patients going through what Helen went through. Helen said, “After our own experience as a family, you all understand the drive to give back and support those that receive the news no one wants to hear.”
We are so grateful to Nigel for his fundraising efforts. Thanks to people like Nigel, The Giles’ Trust is able to continue funding brain tumour research and supporting patients at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.
