Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.

Story

Mike sadly died on February 12th, just 5 months after being diagnosed with a glioblastoma. His type of brain tumour meant that surgery and radiotherapy weren’t possible. He had one round of chemo which resulted in a pulmonary embolism and he was left with no further treatment options under the NHS.

Although we did find private alternatives it was too late for Mike. If he had been well enough to progress we’d have needed somewhere between £100-250k and even then there’d have been no cure but he would at least have had more time with us.

We’re fundraising for Brain Tumour Research, in memory of Mike, as they’re the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Only 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to brain tumours and this is unacceptable.

Mike leaves behind his two boys, Freddie and Loz.

Please help us fund the fight and create a lasting legacy for a wonderful man who’s missed by many.
