Super Bowl champion battling life-threatening cancer with GoFundMe set up for treatment
July 2, 2025
Seven years after winning Super Bowl LII with the Philadelphia Eagles in what turned out to be his final NFL game, longtime linebacker Bryan Braman is fighting for his life. The 38-year-old Washington native, who entered the NFL with the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2011 before making 104 league appearances, has been combating a rare and life-threatening form of cancer since February, for which he has had to undergo a rigorous 12-week treatment program. “His cells did re-infuse themselves, and did in fact start reproducing within his bone marrow. At first, the mass did start to shrink, but then the cancer started fighting back,” it added. “At this point, Bryan has had to start having chemo treatments that are designed for the treatment program Bryan is in. Bryan has had to undergo several surgical procedures. The main problem has been that Bryan has not been able to recover from the procedures because of his lowered immunity due to all of these treatments. By the time he was able to recover so he could continue with the chemo, the cancer has grown exponentially faster, and is now growing around his vital organs.”

Star Athlete ‘Paralyzed from Her Neck Down’ After Suddenly Being Diagnosed with Rare Condition: ‘Her Path Will Be Long, Uncertain’
July 4, 2025
A young star athlete with a bright future is now paralyzed from the neck down after being diagnosed with a rare and serious disease. Brooklyn Aleksic [20], a top student at the University of Victoria in Canada, had everything going for her. Her curling team had recently been featured in a 2024 documentary titled Curl Power, and she was spending the summer working at a golf course in Saskatchewan when she was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis, according to her GoFundMe page. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) defines the condition as a “neurological disorder caused by inflammation of the spinal cord.” Aleksic was preparing for her summer job one day when she woke up and was unable to move. “Basically, within two hours of waking up that morning, she was completely paralyzed from her neck down,” her mother, Shannon Joanisse, told CTV News from Regina General Hospital in an article published Wednesday, July 3. Retired curler Diane Dezura, who is running the GoFundMe on behalf of Aleksic and Joanisse, called the student-athlete’s Transverse Myelitis “rapid and severe.” Aleksic went from competing in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts five times to not being able to “move her legs, sit up, or care for herself.” “The damage to her spinal cord is extensive. While there is hope for some recovery, her path will be long, uncertain and expensive,” the fundraiser said. “She remains in hospital far from home and requires medical transport to Vancouver to begin long-term rehabilitation and be close to her friends and family. But this is just the start. From wheelchairs and equipment to adaptive modifications and 24/7 support, the costs are overwhelming.”

July 2, 2025
Capital FM star Aimee Vivian has been rushed to hospital with a life threatening illness just weeks after giving birth. The radio host, 34, welcomed her first child last month but has now been hospitalised with sepsis. According to the NHS, sepsis is a life threatening illness that can be hard to spot. It happens when your immune system overreacts to an infection and starts to damage your body’s own tissues and organs. Aimee was hospitalised on Sunday and explained she had been experiencing mastitis – where the breast becomes swollen, hot and painful. “Little update, I am still in hospital after being admitted on Sunday and developing sepsis. There’s still a lot of unanswered questions and things to get a hold on, so when I can I’ll be more open and I’ll be looking into working with mastitis charities to spread awareness on it.”

Lars from ‘Hotel Romantik’ speaks out about cancer diagnosis
July 7, 2025
Lars Bjørslev [67] from ‘Hotel Romantik’ has received bad news from the doctors about his cancer and is now undergoing treatment. Here, Lars Bjørslev has been open about the fact that he has previously undergone a cancer course with radiation treatment that began ten years ago. But after filming for ‘Hotel Romantik’ ended, there was unfortunately bad news about his health. “I had surgery for prostate cancer, and things have been going really well for the last eight or nine years. After almost 10 years I had a scan, and it turned out that it had spread – not to bone cancer, but metastases from the prostate to the bones,” says Lars Bjørslev to Se og Hør. Now Lars Bjørslev has come up with something called an antihormone, and he got the first shot on December 31. That’s why he has hot flashes and experiences a decrease in energy. Fortunately, Lars Bjørslev is not in pain, and he is “well enough in his own way.” He was also aware in advance that something would probably happen, as he knows others who have prostate cancer. The good thing about prostate cancer is that it is one of the most researched cancers, and therefore there are a number of tools. This also means that Lars Bjørslev is not nervous.

A well-known member of a popular Brisbane band is fighting for his life after being diagnosed with an incurable cancer at just 29 years old. In a heartfelt message, bandmates of Bugs bassist Jordan Brunoli launched a fundraiser to support him and his partner through this challenging time. “Our best friend and bass player Jordan Brunoli has been diagnosed with incurable stage four colorectal cancer. The cancer has aggressively spread to his entire liver and lymph nodes, leaving Jordan unable to work for the foreseeable future. Just two weeks ago, he underwent major surgery to remove tumors from his bowel and lymph nodes, resulting in the installation of a stoma. “Whilst he is back at home for the moment after being discharged from hospital, the prospect of chemotherapy and future surgeries have been flagged by doctors,” his bandmates said.

MasterChef’s Amina Elshafei reveals her secret health battle
July 4, 2025
MasterChef’s Amina Elshafei [27] has been suffering from a rare autoimmune condition for the past 18 months. “For the last 18 months, I’ve been treated with a newly diagnosed condition called myasthenia gravis. It is myasthenia gravis awareness month and perhaps it was the little push I needed to confidently share with you my story,” the season 4 and season 11 contestant shared on Instagram. “Thank you to my amazing specialists especially my neurologist, the beautiful nurses at the dialysis and day infusion units at Royal North Shore Hospital and to all the blood donors who humbly share the gift of their blood to help others like myself get treatments dependent on blood products and to provide blood products in emergencies.” Myasthenia gravis is a condition in which antibodies attack the communication between nerves and muscle, causing muscle weakness and difficulties with speech and chewing. In a video posted to Instagram, the cookbook author said she first started to notice changes in her body in 2023. Eventually, she struggled to get out of bed. “To hear the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis, it’s not degenerative; however, it’s incredibly debilitating. The hardest part of getting the diagnosis is the knowledge that myasthenia gravis has no cure,” she explained.
