Story

Billy's Battalion is a newly registered charity (no. 1213415) dedicated to raising awareness of DIPG, a devastating childhood brain cancer, and funding better trials, better treatments, and ultimately, a cure.

My little boy Billy the Brave was just 15 days away from his fifth birthday when he died on Easter Sunday, 31st March 2024 — only five months after his diagnosis. He fought valiantly, but the battle was a brutal one, and it has left us all completely devastated.

Billy’s Battalion is now his legacy. Together, we do the only thing we know we can do: raise awareness and funds to bring hope, drive research, and fight for all the little children in the queue for this monster of a cancer, which currently has a 0% survival rate.
