Story

On 27th September, our family will take part in the Brain Tumour Research Walk of Hope in memory of our beautiful Tom Tom.

In November 2024, our world shattered when our amazing son Thomas died from an aggressive brain tumour—just nine months after being diagnosed. He was only nine years old. Taken from us far too soon.

Brain tumours are the leading cancer killer of children and adults under 40, yet treatment options have barely changed in decades. Shockingly, only 1% of the national spend on cancer research is dedicated to this devastating disease.

We are walking for Thomas—and for every child, parent, partner, and friend affected by brain tumours. We walk to fund the vital research needed to find a cure, so that no other family has to hear the words we did, watch their child fight for their life, or endure this kind of heartbreak 💔

Together, we can bring hope, drive change, and move closer to a future where no one loses someone they love to this cruel disease.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
