Over the last month a bone marrow donor has been identified in the UK ( the date for transplant has not been confirmed ), but it will be performed after the third consolidation.
Throughout the whole experience Phillip has coped with a sterling sense of humor, and a concern that others are okay.
When asked how he felt about the CD being made for him involving local musicians to raise money for CLIC Sargent who have helped his family, he said he was "Really grateful to everyone who is doing the CD, and its good to make people more aware of Leukaemia. I am proud and privileged that Simon chose to do this in my name. It's great because not everyone takes up the chance to do stuff
for others.”
Phillip enjoys Skateboarding, BMX, strumming guitar and spending zombie hours on the play-station. Although his favourite bands are Slipknot and Linkin Park he is looking
forward to chilling out to the sounds of acoustic guitars! : )
Phillip's aspiration for future employment is as an ice hockey player !
