Incredible effort👏
After Dumbarton man Kenny Collins was diagnosed last year, members of Loch Lomond Water Ski Club dressed as Santa, elves and a giant flamingo on New Year's Day to raise money for Brain Tumour Research.Kenny suffered from tinnitus and headaches caused by stress for more than three years but repeat visits to the GP provided no answers.
A CT scan confirmed there was a 3cm mass on his brain and Kenny was taken in immediately for emergency surgery. To add to the nightmare, the dad-of-two had recently resigned from his teaching job and was about to embark on his “dream career” working with vulnerable young people.Following a cheque presentation last week Kenny’s father-in-law, Campbell Cavana, who is on the water ski club’s committee said: “I’m really pleased we managed to raise £2,396.
“We were all so shocked when we found out. We expected Kenny to have an operation and get fixed, but he had a lot of complications,” said Campbell.Campbell added: “Kenny’s wound became infected; he developed meningitis and many further complications thereafter which has made his recovery very difficult. He had a total of 10 operations during his four months in hospital, spending most of his time between intensive care and high dependency.
