Lyndsey Roughton is a 27-year-old young professional, I have never met anyone with so much courage and positivity in my life.
In November 2009, she was diagnosed as having a ‘right frontal lobe brain tumour’, on Christmas Eve 2009, she had an operation for it to be removed, which was successful and the diagnosis was that the tumour, was benign.
For a whole 12 months to the date of the operation, everything was fine, no reoccurrences, but then on Christmas Eve 2010 we received a blow that the tumour had returned, in January 2011 she had her second operation and we received the news that it was a Grade II Oliglioastrosytoma, it was malignant.
Myself and the family decided to get into FundRaising to try and Raise Awareness and Funds for Brain Tumour Research, so we became an Umbrella Group (which entitles us to use our own logo and choice of name) within a main Charity Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust.
Not sure if you know, that in the grand scheme of things brain tumours are the least funded of all cancers, being number 16 in a list of 18, only 4,000 people are diagnosed in the UK with a malignant brain tumour. So as you can imagine, the government, feels their priority is else where for funding. With cancer charities, only 1% of monies raised actually is given to Brain Tumour research. As you can imagine, this is no consolation to those patients or families that are dealing with this dreadful illness. Please help us Raise Awareness for Brain Tumour Research.
Lyndsey took every thing in her stride and attacked all the treatments with a vengeance, being positive that she was going to beat the tumour. She had radiotherapy in April 2011, she lost her hair but was truly amazing and still remained positive. In December 2011 we were given the news that Lyndsey’s tumour had gone. We were over joyed.
But…..it wasn’t to be, in April this year, Lyndsey became really ill over the Easter weekend and spent the time in hospital, for us to find out the tumour has come back but on the other side, it is now a ‘Glioblastoma’ a Grade 4 tumour, because of where it is, they are unable to operate as this will affect her quality of life, but the diagnosis is not good. She basically has been given 3 months+, the hospital who prescribe her Chemotherapy have said they will be happy if they can get her to survive for 2 years. For a mother this is hard to hear, but for a child this must be devastating.
Lyndsey has always wanted to visit Vietnam and Thailand, so myself, family and friends decided to try and raise as much money as we can to help this wish come true. We have started fundraising with lots of different events going on up and down the country.
The reason for this letter is to ask if you could help to Raise Awareness for Brain Tumour and ask for your help in anyway at all with fundraising, donations, raffle prizes etc
We would really appreciate your support, with this fundraising and wait in earnest for your reply.

I just discovered Scott. I love his tone and oh so smooth delivery. I just recently picked up a tenor sax that I haven't played for 50 years. I am soon ready to retire and one of my goals is to re-learn the instrument. I will listen to many Scott Hamilton tunes for inspiration.

Dear Mr. Hamilton, I have long been a fan of yours, from the Goodman days, all of the Concord dates, etc. Spoke to you in the late eighties at a small club in Yonkers, Al deFemio's where I had the audacity to tell you that I hear a slight influence of Flip Phillips and you confirmed my judgment. We spoke at the Maxine Sullivan "wake". My husband and I now live in East Sussex and I would hope to be put on some sort of mailing list to continue to follow you. Someone should correct your Wiki entry: I loved both Ben Webster and Zoot. You have paid beautiful homage to them but your style has always been your very own. For that, this fan who has heard the greatest tenors counts you right up there and thanks you. Maisie F.

I've been a fan of yours for two years now. I'm a clarinet/sax man of the ron hockett mold, (I've played with Ron at Riverwalk many times) and a retired teacher. I love the tenor music of Plas, David Newman, Ben Webster, but mostly, after really studying your playing, YOU! MY GOD YOU'RE JUST THE BEST. There is symmetry and poetry to your phrases, like Ron.It makes me want to drink good whiskey in a cool hammock and listen to your great art. I'm buying a new sound system for that. I practice 7 hours a day because of a very few guys like you. If I never get as good as you, at least it will be a great trip. I hope to hear you in person soon. Thanks for the best sax work there could possibly be.

Get this! Got an MRI this week; have gotten 2 before, same place. They ask what music do you like. Previous 2 times, I said jazz, got 2 choices, Kenny G and Miles Davis. I picked Miles. This time they had a new service, so I asked to listen to Scott Hamilton, and by God, they had you! Two songs and then similar music added on. They even had the manners to wait for your songs to finish before starting the MRI banging. State of the art in little Port St. John, FL. I was a happy patient.

Hi Scott,
It's been a long time. Vince said you will be playing in Thailand soon. I live here now teaching English. Would love to see you if it works out. Where and when will you be playing?
