A List of Things to do Before you Die!

I see it as a list of things to do, to work towards, to love or to hate but ultimately, to TRY.
Life throws us all uncertainties; anyone of us could die at any given time and so unexpectedly. I see this as an opportunity, I have been told that my life expectancy is uncertain, I could live for years or I could live for months they just don’t know, so I now I feel like I have the upper hand?
I have been told I could die of a brain tumour, I don’t know how long I may have to live and I'm still in a better position than some other poor people out there. Do I care? Yes of course I care but what is the point in sitting back and doing nothing about it?
I have proved to myself that when I put my mind to something I can achieve it, we all can, we just need to get the get up and go and Just Do IT!
I truly believe my life now has a purpose, I hope that one day it might go away but that is very doubtful.
I came up with a novel idea of raising awareness and funding for charity. I didn’t realise that I would be the first person to do this nor did I think I was ever capable.
I believe my path had been set from the start, the trials and tribulations and the ups and downs. It has made me the person I am today and through my story I hope that one day I will be able to help others in similar situations.
If I can help just one person through my own story or my campaign then that is all I need to keep me going.
"It’s not about the time we have left, but about what we DO with the time we have".
It doesn’t matter how young or old you are these are flexible goals and achievements for you as an individual. You don’t have to be terminally ill to realise that life really is for living and to make the most of what you have and what you can do while you still have the chance.
I'm forever changing my list; I am deleting and adding to it all the time. My aim is to get as many people as possible involved in my activities and follow my journey while at the same time help raise awareness of a very undereducated and funded cause.
