My brother, Stevie Rawle, sadly passed away from glioblastoma grade 4 in September 2025. Stevie was diagnosed after collapsing at home and having a seizure, following a severe headache. Stevie battled for 10 months, undergoing a 7 hour surgery, radio and chemo therapy. He was so brave and was always thinking about everyone else and not himself.

I am so incredibly proud of my wonderful brother. He was one of the most caring, kind, compassionate and empathic people I have ever known. I miss him terribly as do the rest of his family and friends.

Stevie asked as part of his legacy for us to raise awareness and money to support brain tumour research so that one day there will hopefully be a cure.

Since Wear A Hat Day launched in 2010, supporters taking part have raised more than £2.2 million, enabling scientific breakthroughs at our Centres of Excellence and helping us push governments to invest more in life-saving research.

Whether you favour a fedora, sport a sombrero or pop on a Panama – whatever your style – by wearing a hat and holding a fundraising event, you’ll help bring hope to the one in three people who knows someone affected by a brain tumour.
