Graham Hill was diagnosed with a brain tumour in August 2012
A man from Co Antrim is keeping positive and has been shortlisted for a national award after sustaining multiple life-changing brain injuries in his lifetime, including a brain tumour.
As well as this, he had daily bouts of sickness, due to fluid in the brain. When this was diagnosed, he needed further investigative surgery and then contracted Cerebral Meningitis. He explained: "With growing confidence in getting my balance nearly back to normal, I decided to do a lap of Tardree Forest, from my home to the forest and one lap around.
He had compressed his brain stem and the required signals, already pre-weakened, were not getting through from either direction. However, despite his challenges, he remains optimistic. “I just try to stay positive,” he said. “My journey's the same as everybody else's. We are all survivors; the only failure is if we don't try.”
"He attends every group session he can and is always first to welcome new members. He has thrown himself into the group and created a family more than an organisation of service users. Graham supports everyone on their journey, and everyone wants to see him do well.
