Sports enthusiast, Ethan from Sandhurst in Berkshire was diagnosed with a glioblastoma (GBM) as he prepared for his GCSEs, aged 15.

Severe headaches and slurred speech led to an MRI scan which revealed the shocking discovery of a mass on his brain. Over the course of two years, Ethan had three operations, countless chemotherapies and developed epilepsy as a result of treatment for the tumour. Desperate to save their son, Ethan’s parents Niki and Justin found treatment trials taking them to Germany and London. However, the tumour was too aggressive, Ethan died at home on 26 November 2021 age 17.

Our Fundraising Group and Facebook page, called‘ A New Hope for Ethan’ has now become a tool for raising awareness, campaigning and fundraising towards better treatment options and eventually a cure for brain tumours so we can rewrite the future of people diagnosed with this devastating disease.

We would love family and friends to set up fundraisers/ challenges, get your schools and businesses involved or anything else that appeals to you. Thank you.

Nikki and Justin Treharne
