Gerringong man refuses to let rare cancer slow him down, tackling charity walk days after surgery
Gerringong man Alex Righton, 33, is living with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare cancer of the bile ducts. He was diagnosed after surgery for an unrelated gallbladder removal. His wife Kelly says little is known about the disease, and doctors often lack data to recommend treatments. The family is raising money for research through the 7 Bridges Walk, a 28 km Cancer Council event across Sydney bridges. They have raised more than $7500, beyond their $5000 goal.
