NUT day

November 2010 Sam went to London to take part in some workshops with the NUT about the issues facing young people returning to education following treatment for cancer and especially brain tumours. This was all part of the ongoing project to raise awareness of the difficulties brain tumour patients face as part of their recovery and rehabillitation. He had a fantastic reception and completely engaged the teachers, you can see by their reaction to him that they took a lot on board that day and openly admitted their lack of understanding of lots of everyday (well for someone with a brain tumour!!) hurdles. Many said they would change the way they respond to young people with cancer and hopefully make the return to the classroom a less stressful experience....the right response thank you teachers!

Jimmyteens.tv came to London to film the event, thanks Peter and Debs. Here is a film of the film that Jimmyteens.tv put together, of the day with the NUT - this film was shown last friday as part of the presentation given at the launch of the new website....it is introduced by Prof Walker who is Sam's oncologist.....the head in the corner of the footage belongs to Prof Grundy!!
