Brain cancer sufferer Mitch loses his battle

'BRAVE WARRIOR' DIED ON WEDNESDAY

- STEPHANIE BALLOO

A MIDLAND man who raised almost £250,000 for lifesaving cancer therapy has died and his family shared his final words in an emotive online post.

Brave Mitch Middleton, described as a “warrior”, declared: “Thank you to every single person out there who tried to save me. See you all on the other side.”

Previously he had pleaded “I really don’t want to die before my 29th birthday” as his family called on the public to help fund private treatment via GoFundMe to keep him alive.

But the 28-year-old, who was from Tamworth and had brain cancer, died peacefully beside loved ones in the early hours of Wednesday, September 17, his family confirmed.
