Join our Walks of Hope 2021 campaign and help us to get closer to a cure brain cancer. I successfully raised more than £1800 last year. Here we go again. Here’s an Update on our story:
My beautiful husband, a great father left us peacefully on a Wednesday morning just a day before Christmas Eve last year…
The average survival time is 12-18 months.
He fought for more than 2 and a half years. He was strong.

Our daughter's wish was to see you again on her birthday.
I could not give this to her, this is why I would like to have an opportunity to show her your name on a plaque at the Brain Tumour Research's Wall of Our Hearts at the Centre of Excellence at Queen Mary University of London.

This would cost us £2740. My target is £274 and I’m hoping we can reach £2740. 
Why £2740?
Each tile laid on the wall represents this amount, it costs to fund a day of research.

I am doing this for him and also I would hope with this amount I could help the brain cancer research team to get closer to cure this awful disease.
I would like to reach this amount for his first anniversary of his passing.
We would like him to be proud of us. Love you, Neil.

Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age.
What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

 In June 2018 my husband was diagnosed with a grade 4 brain cancer known as glioblastoma . This is the most aggressive cancer that begins within the brain. When he was initially diagnosed the doctors told me he likely only had 12 months to live. 

He was told by the doctor if he had waited 1 more month he could have be been dead. 

Multiple signs began to show in 2018. Initially they included major headaches. His  eventually got so bad that they would put him onto the floor, with the feeling of electric surges trying to escape his head. They would last around 10-15 min and seemed to manifest more in the evening when he was tired. He also had visual side effects - such as blurring. Some other symptoms include nausea and vomiting, memory loss, and changes to personality, mood or concentration. Please be aware of yourself and those around you, as an early diagnosis can mean the difference between life and death.                                  In January 2020 his MRI results showed flaring around the infected area. The plan was to get him back onto treatment ASAP but due to covid 19 lock down it left Him without treat. His next scan in May showed the tumour has spread to the back of his brain and has now effected his peripheral vision causing him to walk into everything. His headaches have come back which he now has to use steroids to control. He has tarted his chemo treatment on 07/08/2020.  I’m doing this walk for him. I want to show him how much his fight means to our beautiful girl and me. Hopefully he can join me for a little bit with our daughter.
