Some of our children were at school with Taylan Rawlinson, a lovely 7 year old boy who was diagnosed with a rare incurable and inoperable brain tumour located in the brain stem called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma.

Taylan's parents, Figen and Andy, are working tirelessly to help other families who are affected by Brain Tumours. They set up Taylan's Project, under the umbrella group of Brain Tumour Research, a registered charity. Figen, Andy, their friends and family have already raised over £250,000 through their efforts.

Its nearly 7 years since Taylan passed away. Our goal is to continue to help raise money for Taylan's project because brain tumours are forgotten when it comes to allocating funds for research and the progress is very slow.  Just 14% survive beyond five years compared to 50% for all cancers. 

Brain tumours can affect anyone and are increasingly affecting the younger population and there are very few treatment options and nothing even close to a cure.  Research into brain tumours receives less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research in the UK.  Yet more children and people under the age of 40 in the UK die of a brain tumour than any other cancer.
