My wonderful Gavin lost his life to a brain tumour, just weeks before his 40th birthday.

He faced his illness with a spirit and determination like no other. My heart is broken as are those of his children, family and friends.

To remember our gorgeous Gavin, and to help extend the lives of others suffering with brain tumours, we’re fundraising for the charity Brain Tumour Research. They’re specifically focused on researching brain tumours and ultimately striving to find a cure.

Brain cancer ends the lives of more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Yet historically, only 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. Therefore, fundraising for this specific cancer is of the utmost importance.

In some small yet significant way, we hope our fundraising efforts will honour Gav. By celebrating his 39 years of life and remembering him, we are helping to save the lives of others.

Gav’s motto ‘never give up’ was his absolute strength in fighting this disease. We’d love to keep his legacy alive by encouraging other brain cancer patients, and indeed anyone going through a terrible illness, to never give up, because Gav taught us that life and love are worth fighting for. If you are able to donate something, anything, in loving memory of Gavin, and to support children and adults overcome this life-limiting illness, Gavin’s family and I would like to say a heartfelt thank you a million times over.

With much love and gratitude,

Zoe x
