Some information about James Allen:  James was delightful young man who had to endure a huge amount in his short life. On October 24th 2011, he died as a result of the brain tumour that he had battled over several years. He was 12 years old.

James loved his family, his chocolate labradors, all vehicles (he was a remarkable driver, Top Gear obsessive and proud owner of a Kubota), DT and Lego. He had a superb, dry sense of humour, a keen intelligence and he played the violin beautifully. He was also never far from a nice mug of tea.

When he was 7, James was diagnosed with a medulloblastoma, a form of brain tumour that though rare, is the commonest form of childhood cancer. Despite being in such great need of help himself, he was also determined to help other children experiencing the same condition and its gruelling treatment.  The James Allen Brain Tumour Trust therefore aims not just to remember James, but to enact his own sense of charity. Amongst other things, James helped out at University College London Hospital by volunteering to work on a booklet to explain to other children how to deal with radiotherapy. The objective of the Trust is to fund clinical research and patient support projects that are closely connected to James and his treatment.  This will be done either directly or through contributions to selected organisations already making sterling efforts in this area.
