My story begins in October 2012, a week after my 50th Birthday, I was a financial advisor at the time & I was on holiday in Blackpool at the time, which I drove there & back, with my Mum & partner Christine in the car, unknown to them I was having small black outs which was the start of what would end up as life saving surgery, driving back from Blackpool I knew then something just wasn't right, A week of intense Headaches started & my balance started to go, Christine phoned our Doctor, When he looked in my eyes he saw blood dripping behind them & rushed me to the hospital, this in fact was the results of A burst brain aneurysm, Christine's phone call had saved my life, as the surgeon said to us, if she never made the phone call I would have died that day, It's taken a long time to get over that, still Today I have dreams I actually died, & have visions of Christine & my mum standing over my grave, pre 2012 I was a kind of man that never had time for any one else, I just wanted to live my life for me & me alone, so the next part of my story, changed my life forever, Unknown to Christine at the time I was given only 6 months to live, so, sat on my hospital bed the day after my brain operation, I started to do fun edits for friends & family who stood by myself & Christine & helped us through the "dark days" as I like to call them as "Seeing the light" at the end of the tunnel was so true for myself, being told you only have 6 months to live, really changes a person, as it did me, as I vowed there & then to make as many people smile as much as I could in my remaining days, Eddie Kidd OBE & model Belinda Charlton were the first charity videos I ever created as more & more people were getting to hear about AJM Productions, not just any graphic design company, as I said at the start I would never ever ask for any money in what I did, I lije to think I'm the best as the best things in life are free, as Time went on & my 6 months was getting near, I started doing music videos for charities just a way of a thank you from me, in what they do,,,,,,,, My 6 months past in April 2013 & still to this day I feel I could drop dead at any second, so I just keep myself busy so I don't have to think about..... Death, during my time of Editing Miss Deborah Fennella antered my life & gave me my very first live interview, I thought "I'm nothing special why bother about me" And was so nervous about the interview That I very nearly cancelled it as I was so afraid, but this changed When Miss Fennella phoned me up moments before I went on air..... Deborah's voice, WOW that was the moment I thought this lady has such a calm soothing voice made all my fears disappear in seconds, and really enjoyed the interview, though very hard at times which brought me to tears in a few places as this was the first time I had ever opened up about nearly dying But Deborah steered me through my tears gave me time to find my voice again and we carried on, I'm still amazed today that Deborah still uses my design for Her "In the hot seat" shows we skip to 2018, when I started getting electric shocks to my face whenever I touched it, as time went on these pains got more frequent more painful & lasted so long, this in fact was the start of Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) which was unknown to me & so many people, The day I was diagnosed I created my very first TN music video, Just to explain to people what I had rather than going deep into conversations about it as every word spoken brought more pain to my face, And Miss Fennella gave me my first interview talking about TN which the interview helped so many as I sent it to over 80 countries to so many TN sufferers Today As I approach my tenth anniversary of AJM Productions, 10 years I should never have had I still can't believe I am the only person in the world that has created over 400 TN music videos & 2 movies, Now with over 1,000 creations I feel something or some one has kept me alive to find the world a cure then & only then if a cure was found, I could quite easily die happy, knowing I made a difference with over 50 world charities that have got one or more of my music videos, World awareness to them gets better & better each day, I wanted to retire from editing last year, But I got so many Emails & messages asking me not to go I decided to start back again this year, Deborah Fennella has helped me so much, more than words could say, all I will say & end with is, Deborah has been my guiding light, and may it never dimmer Deborah introduced me to so many people & their charities I didn't have to be asked I helped them as much as I could with my videos, so I will end here with 5 words "THANK YOU SO MUCH DEBORAH"
