Terminally Ill Chef helps others

[annie]

A TERMINALLY ill chef with a brain tumour the size of an apple has shrugged aside his own health problems to try to help others.

Kidney transplant patient Ben King has suffered from kidney disease from the age of five and underwent a transplant donated from his dad when he was 17
But last year the 27-year-old discovered he had developed an inoperable brain tumour and shortly after his new kidney began to fail.

Despite spending months in hospital over Christmas, the former Nelson and Colne College student decided the only way he could cope with his illness was to not to know his definitive prognosis and to help others.


Ben, who lives in Reedley with his parents Fiona and Dave King, has set up BK’s Heroes, to support brain and kidney research charities and has already raised around £9,000.
