'I couldn't process those unbearable words'
It was a cold day in December when Mark Tindale’s phone began to ring. It was a call from an unknown number. When he answered, he was met by a voice he didn’t recognise.
“I was inconsolable, and I couldn’t process those unbearable words. I was utterly petrified at the thought of what my 15-year-old boy was about to go through.” Devastatingly, following several more scans, Jake was diagnosed with an astrocytoma brain tumour. Because of Covid restrictions, only Katie was allowed to be with him when he was given earth-shattering news.
Mark said: “It was like Jake was re-born again and it made me realise how life can change so quickly. The news was fantastic, like he’s been given a second chance and he’s now making the most of life, and he went to his first music festival with his friends in the summer. It’s great and he deserves it.In August 2022, Jake’s first yearly scan came back all clear and he recently started a music production course at Eckington sixth form college in Sheffield.
He said: “I just want to give something back in the hope of finding a cure so that other families don’t have to go through what our family has gone through.”
