Liam initially experienced stomach swelling, chronic constipation, cramps, and vomiting in March but hesitated to seek medical attention due to being self-employed and fearing loss of wages.

He is on a mission to fulfill his bucket list and create cherished memories with loved ones while emphasizing the importance of early medical intervention. Liam believes that ignoring symptoms and delaying medical checks was his gravest error.
His plea for health prioritization resonates as he shares the impact on his physical and mental well-being. Although challenging activities like Tough Mudder, swimming with sharks, and skiing are no longer feasible, Liam is determined to raise awareness about the significance of prompt medical attention.
Facing the limitations of NHS treatment, Liam is financing private treatment, scans, and medicine to extend his life. A JustGiving fundraiser initiated by his friend has garnered significant support, emphasizing the profound impact of Liam’s bravery and his commitment to raising awareness about the critical need for early health intervention.
