£700 whip-round saved workmate's life

-- A delivery driver has thanked his workmates for saving his life after they paid for a scan which revealed he had a life threatening brain tumour.

Gary Harris' colleagues stumped up £700 for the private scan which revealed the deadly tumour, after he was told he would have to wait months to receive the scan on the NHS.

Doctors removed the tumour immediately after it was diagnosed and told Gary, 38, from Bristol, that it was so severe that he would have died while waiting to have the scan on the NHS. --
