Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page. This September, Myself and my dear close friend Mushtaq will be  raising money for Levi’s Star Children's Brain Tumour Charity at Shine Night Walk to help beat brain tumours sooner.

Did you know that brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and young adults in the uk? Yet they receive less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research.

Levis mum didn’t either until the day her precious little boy was diagnosed with one. Levi was just six years old when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour on his brain stem and cerebellum. He had been suffering from headaches and dizziness which doctors assured Levi's mum was due to childhood migraine. How Levi's mum wishes  they had been right.  Levi wasn’t responding to ‘migraine’ medicine and so his mum pushed for Levi to have a CT scan- afterall how can doctor’s know what’s happening in someone’s head without looking? Levi's mum wanted the scan to rule out anything serious …but it did the opposite. Levi was rushed to hospital and endured a 12 hour operation to de bulk his tumour. The brave little boy with the big brown eyes, beautiful smile and cheeky personality lost his Power Ranger fight and died in his mum's arms just 6 weeks after diagnosis. He was surrounded by his devastated family. They had lost Levi, there hearts were shattered into a million pieces. How do you even breathe without the little person who means more to you than your own life?

Well they did breathe and they did continue, heart breaking though the journey has been. Levi's mum and grandma decided to start a charity in Levi’s precious memory, to fight against the devastation brain tumours cause. Levi’s Star supports children with brain tumours and their families at a time when their world has been turned upside down. Their three objectives are to:

• Offers grants to children with brain tumours in the Yorkshire area
• Raise awareness about this devastating disease
• Promote research into centres for cures of brain tumours

Please visit this website to find out more www.levisstar.co.uk

Each year in the UK, over 9,400 people, including around 400 children, are diagnosed with tumours that start in the brain or elsewhere in the central nervous system. They can often be hard to treat and around 5,000 people in the UK lose their lives to the disease every year.

Please dig deep and sponsor me. Every pound you donate will help fund their amazing work. Please help us make a real difference to children with brain tumours.
