Mark Flint is raising money for Tom's Trust
Story
.Having been made aware of this fantastic cause, I’ve decided to raise funds and awareness to help in the continued valuable research and funding to ensure that no one else has to go through what Mr & Mrs Whiteley have had to.
Tom’s Trust was founded in 2011 by Andrew and Debs Whiteley after losing Tom, their only son at the age of nine. Tom died of a brain tumour and the family desperately needed more psychological support during this devastating time, and there was almost none. Debs and Andrew set out to ensure that psychological support for children and their families would be available from the point of diagnosis in Tom’s name.
- Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children under the age of 15
- Around 400 children in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour every year
