The One Pound Warriors was originally a Facebook group set up by 13-year-old Lillie Cotgrove, asking people to join and donate £1 to raise funds for treatment abroad for her school friend diagnosed with a DIPG brain tumour.
Along with various community fundraising events, One Pound Warriors succeeded in raising the significant sum involved, but tragically Lillies friends health deteriorated and she passed away before being able to access this treatment.
One Pound Warriors is now focused on raising £1million over the next four years to fund research leading to more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for brain tumours.
