Story

Football fan and skilled Volvo technician, Graham Stuart McKie, affectionately known as “Hedgie”, was a loving, caring son, brother, uncle, husband, and friend from Milngavie, Scotland. The 32-year-old became very unwell very quickly on Boxing Day evening, 2005, with severe headaches and continued sickness while out with his wife and her family. This lasted several days. Graham later received a terminal diagnosis of an inoperable and incurable glioblastoma grade 4 brain tumour. He faced his illness with courage, determination and strength, enduring radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and complications along the way. He died peacefully seven months later on 11 August 2006, with his heartbroken and devastated family by his bedside. Since then, Clan McKie has raised over £50,000 for brain tumour-related causes in tribute to Graham.
