“I told you I’d be back” - cancer survivor

Wednesday 10 August 2016

Harry Zambon will star in this year’s Battle of the Flowers parade, only a year after he collapsed with brain cancer.

The bodybuilder has set himself a goal of raising £10,000 for the Jersey Brain Tumour charity after they helped in his rehabilitation.

Posting onto his JustGiving page, Harry wrote: “I told you I’d be back! Eight days after being St Clements’ 'Strong man' in 2015 I collapsed with a double brain haemorrhage because I had brain cancer.

“After beating the beast and rehabilitating from a wheelchair I'm fulfilling my vow that I would come back by acting as St Clements’ 'Head Red Indian' this year.

“This charity is well needed to support people who have, or have had, a brain tumour. I'm wanting to raise £10,000, which many of you may think is unrealistic. However, if I'd have been realistic with my choices these past 11 months I wouldn't be alive.

“Please make a donation, get your company involved (as I feel a corporate approach will help me reach the financial goal) and share this around the world!

"Nobody has the right to tell you what you can & cannot achieve."
