Day 9 ⭐️
In January 2023, Robert Seward’s life changed in an instant.
A 38-year-old father of three from Marlow, Robert collapsed at home after returning from the school run. What followed was a seizure that led to an emergency trip to the John Radcliffe Hospital, where scans revealed he had a brain tumour.
In the months that followed, Robert faced surgery, uncertainty and life-changing decisions. But through it all, he chose to focus on something he could control — his mindset and his health.
Before surgery, Robert committed himself to getting as fit as possible, believing that exercise could help him face the challenges of treatment and recovery.
When surgery came in March, doctors were able to remove nearly 80% of the tumour an incredible result that gave Robert renewed motivation.
Not long after, Robert turned that determination into action by cycling to Paris to raise funds for Brainstorm and help support brain tumour research.
His message to others facing difficult diagnoses is simple: focus on what you can control, look after your body and mind and never underestimate the power of resilience.
Stories like Robert’s remind us why awareness, research and support matter so much.
