Published: Feb. 6, 2018, 12:02 a.m.

Jodie & Soda heard the story of 8-year-old Alex\xa0who in 2012 who was diagnosed with a brain tumour and unfortunately lost his sight.\xa0Dad Phil said it was a visit to their doctor and a referral to Adelaide\u2019s Women\u2019s and Children\u2019s Hospital where they found out the news that change their lives forever.\u201cThey said Alex had a legion on his brain and it\u2019s a large one! It\u2019s about the size of a man\u2019s fist and that\u2019s in all likelihood that\u2019s why he\u2019s lost his vision is the pressure from a tumour that size is immense!\u201dBut things are looking up for Alex and the family.\u201cThe Chemotherapy and radiation therapy has stunted his growth he is very little for his age but he has started growing again and the results of his last MRI, upshot is that there\u2019s no technical change on the legions they are monitoring so for a physical tumour that is the best possible scenario\u201dPhil has been overwhelmed by the generosity of Mix1023 listeners who heard Alex\u2019s story and wanted to him and the family.As he read a card from Monica & Brad who sent in a $500 donation, he became quite emotional.\u201cI don\u2019t even know what to say\u2026wow! Thank you so much I don\u2019t know what else to say\u201d
