Simon's story
For people like Simon, research has been lifesaving.
When Simon was diagnosed with aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, his world changed in an instant. He went from flying planes to fighting for his life. After chemotherapy failed, he was left with one final option – a breakthrough treatment made possible by research.
Today, Simon is back in the cockpit and cherishing every moment with his family. Research saved his life.
