Upcoming Stock Split - can anybody explain effect

Sorry for being naive, I bought this stock based upon the sector it is in and growth potential.

I am however, unfamiliar with stock splits. Would it be wise to hold on to this share or sell it prior to this event. I do not understand the reasoning behind splits EXCEPT holders get more stocks at a reduced value.

The question is, will the NET change in the short term be
-ve. I am investing for med treatment and cannot afford to lose the gains I've made.

Anybody explain reasoning / give me some advice ? I got nothing out of 'Raging Bull', they all seem to be a bunch of not so serious or well informed folks.

I'm trying to learn .............

Thanks in advance
