Story

The star of this video is Franklin. Franklin was 20 weeks old and in his Mummy's tummy
when Drs discovered his Daddy's Grade 4 Brain Tumour. His Daddy has since been through
 4 lots of Brain Surgery, Radical Radiotherapy and is currently having more Chemotherapy.
He's in a wheelchair this Christmas  as his movement is reduced by the pressure of his GBM
Brain Tumour. But Daddy still plays Star Wars and Football with Franklin
(don't tell but last night Daddy even danced to Mariah Carey with Franklin)
you see,  Daddy really is Franklin's Star. 

Back to the video - people keep telling me how funny this video is.
Some people have already started copying it! Little Barney started the trend and Holly
 (Franklins big sister made a video too!) Can you be a #RaaStar?

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.
