Konkret geht es vor allem darum, Assistenzgeräte und Sonderausstattung zu ermöglichen, um Paul seine verbleibende Zeit so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten.

Make Dad’s remaining months as comfortable as possible

On April 13th 2024, Dad was taken ill at a war gaming conference in London and the family were told to head to London right away. I’ll refer to him as Paul for the purpose of this story, as many people know Dad as a bit of wargaming legend.

At first the medics thought he had suffered a stroke and so he was put into an induced coma and remained on the ICU for the next week.

Following copious tests and scans, we finally received the devastating news in May that he has stage 4 Glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of brain cancer.

Since the diagnosis, Paul has received incredibly intense treatments in an attempt to shrink the tumour and buy us some more time with him, but the fact remains that his diagnosis is terminal and he is only expected to live 12-14 months from the diagnosis.

It’s become our mission to make Dad’s last months as happy and exciting as we can so that he has the chance to truly LIVE every single day.

Since people have found out about the diagnosis there has been an overwhelming display of kindness from all across the world, with many asking if there’s any way in which they can help. We’re currently trying to get some disability aids and home adaptations to help dad keep his independent mobility for as long as he can. Unfortunately, there is only so much that the NHS can do so we’re opening up the opportunity for anyone who has ever known Dad or appreciated his hard work over the years, to donate anything they can to help us make Dad as comfortable and happy as possible.

Die Kampagne hat bereits eine große Summe erreicht.

Sergeant Sawyer Charity Figure – 12,00€

A true legend of the tabletop, Sergeant Sawyer stands ready to lead his British Airborne on another daring mission. Always on hand when he’s most needed, dispensing sage advice, copious amounts of hot lead, and a bawdy joke or two, his tireless efforts are a huge asset on the battlefield!

This model represents our illustrious and beloved co-founder, Paul Sawyer. Paul has sadly been forced to step away from Warlord Games due to a serious illness, but we wanted to commemorate and celebrate his incredible career and passion for our hobby with a special figure. Shown in British Airborne uniform, a nod to the many, many Red Devils he’s painted over the years, Sergeant Sawyer is our tribute to a man without whom Warlord Games would simply not exist, and our lives be far the poorer. Proudly bearing Paul’s smiling face, Sergeant Sawyer is an essential figure for every collection.

All proceeds from the sale of this figure will go to The Brain Tumour Charity, an incredibly worthy cause chosen by Paul himself.

Contains 1 metal miniature with 25mm round plastic base.
