The Journey
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 12 ส.ค. 2015
In June 2015, I was told I had terminal cancer with weeks to live.
Once I'd come to term with that news, one of the hardest things I had to do was tell family and friends.
Even then, there is the constant demand for news. It's natural. Your loved ones want to know what's going on, but equally the do not want constantly disturb you for updates.
So, that was when I came up with the idea of a daily diary. This worked very well and it seemed that lots of people were getting a lot of benefit out of watching me deal with cancer. It seemed to help them address some of their fears about facing death themselves or facing the death of a loved one.
So, I decided to make these diaries available publicly. If they help one person then they will have been worth it.

£15,000 Raised for Shakespeare Hospice
www.justgiving.com/mikeseddon
What can I say? I set out to raise £1000 for Shakespeare Hospice.
I knew with the generosity of my friends that this was possible.
I also knew the local business community of which I had played an active part would also rally around.
What I hadn't expected was the amount of generosity that would be shown.
I also wasn't prepared for the support I would get from people who were practically strangers. The kindness of strangers I called it and they were amazing.
People in my own village who I'd never met stepped forward to add their support, as did people from the far corners of this planet.
I was humbled and overwhelmed by the support.
£1000 was smashed on the first day.
New targets were set.
The final target was set at £15,000 and we smashed that on 12th September 2015.
At that point, I decided it was time for me to stop.
I'm sure that the total will continue to climb, but I now need to spend more quality time with my wife as I'm reaching the end of my journey.
This video is to say thank you.
Thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
You are an amazing set of people who should be extremely proud of what you have achieved.

www.justgiving.com/mikeseddon Once again, random acts of kindness have humbled me. I have such a great support network of friends. I am truly blessed. All I need now is one final push to £15,000. I'll stop at that point and devote all my time to Barbara, so please help me get this over the wire as fast as we can. Thanks Mike

www.justgiving.com/mikeseddon Not much to say. Sunday was a perfect day. The new bed continues to be excellent. I am looking for your help though. Any recommendation for a new online game for me to play. Something similar to Sim City (remember that?). Also, an easy to use software package I could use to create a simple A4 brochure that I can easily add photographs into it. It's to create a sort...

www.justgiving.com/mikeseddon The day of the new bed! We decided to swap out my old air mattress as the nurses and I suspected it wasn't working quite right. Seems we were right as the new one (when we got one that worked!) is infinitely more comfortable. So, this might be happy days for the bed sores!

Tips for Visiting Terminal Cancer Patients
I dont even remember how I came to these videos years ago, only now just decided to see this one, back in December my great grandfather had died due to stage 4 lung cancer, rest in peace Mike, you have some great insights
If you are suffering from any illness stop wasting your money on drugs that doesn't give you remedy, with Dr. Akintola herbal mixture you can get rid of any illness, he cured me of Tinnitus.
it was a priviledge meeting this great doctor, Dr Akintola Adebayo Mercy, if you are in Florida, search for Dr Akintola Adebayo Mercy and subcribe to his channel.
Ever since Dr Itepu came into my life everything has changed for good, thank you so Sir for curing my genital herpes completely
