Whilst his blood tests and tumour markers indicated that his treatment had been successful, in September 2011 we were called back to Mount Vernon to be told the cancer was back in Josh’s spine and brain. There was nothing more they could do to treat him. Josh sadly passed away on Monday 3rd October.
Throughout his treatment Josh showed such strength and courage, never once letting any of us think that this disease would beat him. He fought to the very end and it is this ethos that is the driving force behind The Josh Carrick Foundation.
We aim to become one of the leading contributors to testicular cancer research in the UK by injecting funding directly into some of the most promising fields of research whilst also helping to raise awareness of the disease.
