Our friend’s son, Silas Pullen, died at Christmas, from an aggressive brain tumour aged just 11.
Our friend’s son, Silas Pullen, died at Christmas, from an aggressive brain tumour aged just 11.
The survival statistics for children with brain tumours have not changed in the last 50 years which is shocking and we want to help change this!
When Silas was diagnosed his parents were told he would die in 12-18 months and there was nothing that could be done to save him. The Doctors took all their hope away in one fell swoop. After Silas’s death, his parents set up a fund in his name with the Brain Tumour Charity to help fund ground-breaking research trials for pediatric brain tumours, so that other parents in the future could have more hope and not hear those same dreadful, heart-breaking words.
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children globally and yet receive very little in the way of funding. So please help us do our bit to change this by sponsoring us to drag ourselves around this obstacle course and get all muddy for Silas, something we know he would have loved to have done and would have made him laugh a lot.
