'We had only just started telling people about the baby... then we had to say her dad has an incurable disease'
Neil Taylor had only been married for months. He and his new wife, Alex, were excitedly expecting their daughter.
It was nearing Christmas 2016 when Neil had a couple of seizures in the night and was referred to a neurologist for a scan to find out if he had a sleeping disorder or epilepsy. However, on 20 February 2017, the couple were called to the hospital to be told that Neil had a brain tumour in the left frontal lobe.
In 2018, Neil and Alex formalised their fundraising by setting up Neil’s Appeal, enlisting friends and family to join them as #TaylorsWarriors. The fundraising group had raised more than £34,600 before its latest efforts. Principal of the dancing school, Anita Tymcyshyn said: “Over the 50 years, the dancing school has produced 28 dancing school shows raising close to £100,000 for 36 local charities.
Neil added: “I am very grateful to Miss T and all the teachers and dancers for supporting the cause – we desperately need to find more effective treatments for brain tumours and ultimately a cure. I have six-monthly scans to check the tumour isn’t growing back, which is always an anxious time.
