Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Whilst battling an inoperable brain tumour, Harry was inspired to make a difference to all people with brain cancer when a friend of his who also had a brain tumour became very ill. Within the space of just over two years Harry had organised and attended nearly 100 events to raise money for and awareness of Brain Cancer. He touched the hearts of the nation with his efforts and helped change the lives of everyone he met.
Sadly Harry’s health took a sudden turn for the worse following brain surgery in August 2011. On 8 October 2011, after 14 weeks in a coma, Harry passed away peacefully at home in his Mom’s arms.
Harry’s fundraising success resulted in the posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2012 JustGiving Awards. Harry’s aim was to inspire children ‘to do good’ and make a difference!
He wanted to create his own charity, and his parents have now fulfilled that. Help Harry Help Others is now a registered charity which aims to help all families suffering from cancer.
On Wednesday 15 May 2013 a group of football fans will set off from Aston Villa F.C. (Villa Park) to walk 86.5 miles to the DW Stadium, home of Wigan Athletic F.C. hopefully arriving on Saturday 18 May 2013.
In 2012 we sucessfully completed a walk from Aston Villa F.C(Villa Park) to Norwich City F.C(Carrow Road) which was a distance of 150 miles and raised over £5000 which this year we are hoping to beat that amout!
The aim of the walk is to raise awareness and money for research to help find a cure for brain cancer
