PARK FUN RUN IN AID OF # TEAMDDB
On Friday 18th August , John Hammond arranged a 5k Run / Walk in support of support of Danny de Brabander and TeamDDB .
Danny has been struggling a lot with his health lately , and his cancer is unfortunately progressing . His condition has worsened , and is currently wheelchair bound .
Thankfully Danny was able to attend the event despite his ongoing issues , and over 200 people turned up in support , this made up of Family , friends and even strangers who have been inspired by Danny ’ s journey .
TeamDDB has now raised over £ 130,000 since Danny was diagnosed with Cancer in January 2019 , and this has created a real community on Wirral and across Merseyside . With over 1,000 Hoodies and T-shirts sold .
They have supported over 25 local charities along the way , and done many random acts of kindness for people who are suffering from health conditions and need a lift / treat . Danny and TeamDDB have also continued to raise vital awareness for Bowel Cancer .
On the event , John Hammond said : " The main reason I wanted to organise a little get together is to show you how much everyone cares about Danny . We can all see how tough the last few months have been for him , and we can all see how much you are fighting , so nights like this are our way of showing how many people are there for him
" We wanted him to know he is not alone , and that he has inspired so many people many people by his strength and kindness . Danny is massive inspiration to us all mate . Even now despite his own battles , Danny continues to do random act of kindness and support the local community which is truly amazing ."
