We support Addenbrooke's and the Rosie to change patients' lives.

Story

Our wonderful son passed away on 2nd November 2020 age 15 after a long battle with the consequences of a cancerous brain tumour (diagnosed at age 4). He was incredibly brave, loving, funny and polite.  

His spirit was always upbeat even though he has been through so so much. We would love to continue something he started - In recent months whilst Owen was very poorly and mostly bed bound he set up a small shop selling hand crafted items that he loved to make.  He wanted to donate all of the proceeds to Brainbow, the children’s brain tumour rehabilitation trust based at Addenbrookes hospital in Cambridge. Brainbow’s aim is to help children with brain tumours reach their full potential. 

Owen was such a massive part of our lives and we are completely heartbroken. We thank you for taking the time to read this and please know that Owen and family are very grateful for ALL donations and messages of support.  We have shared some of our favourite photos of Owen.  We would be grateful if you can share this page.
