Milan's Story :-

Milan Patel was a football mad 14 year old boy who had been playing football for Kenilworth Wardens Football Club in Warwickshire since the age of 6.

Sadly in January 2012, aged 11, Milan had an operation to remove a lump in his spine, this lump turned out be a a rare type of bone cancer called Ewing's sarcoma. Milan had to have a year of grueling chemotherapy and proton therapy treatments whereby he was in hospital every 3rd week.
Milan had the all clear in December 2012 but unfortunately the cancer returned in September 2013, and again had 4 months of chemotherapy treatment with a subsequent 1 month hospital stay in Birmingham Children's hospital for stem cell transplant and high dose chemotherapy.
Milan again got the all clear in April 2014, but so quickly after, in June 2014, suffered another relapse, and was sadly told in December 2014 that the cancer had spread. Sadly at 11am on Monday 2nd March 2015, Milan lost his battle and passed away peacefully at home with all his family
Milan's positive attitude towards his condition and his battle was an inspiration to all.

#AbseilForMilan

Milan's family and friends are raising money for a number of charities including Teenage Cancer Trust, who were a massive support to the family.
