Parents of a young farmer who died after a "very brave battle" against an aggressive brain tumour have presented more than £8,600 to two charities in his memory.LAST COPYRIGHT TIM STURGESS SHROPSHIRE STAR 12/06/202 Tractor to deliver donation to the Hamar Centre. Pictured, Sue and Dave Roberts lost their 26-year-old son Will from a brain tumour in January and representative from Brain Tumour Support and Di Evanson - Willâs Cancer Nurse Specialist.
They also had a chance to be reunited with Di Evanson, Will’s cancer nurse specialist who helped the young man in his fight. He had been first diagnosed in April 2016 after he collapsed at a young farmers' event. Will's dad, Dave Roberts, said:"We have been very comforted by the support we have had since Will died."On the funeral procession from Pennant Farm, at Rhosygadfa there were a minimum of 30 tractors showing their respect on the road and on every bridge. There was a tractor escort to the crematorium."
Dave said:"Last year Will had a scan that showed an abnormality, it was a very different kind of tumour. It was a very aggressive cancer that was inoperable."He was still mobile and despite the loss of his sight at the end of October into November he went to a young farmers' bonfire at our place. He wanted to be there. He collapsed on November 13 and passed away four weeks later.
