We fund long-term, sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours

Story

On Christmas Day 2015 we got told my Dad had a brain tumour age 62, after doctors were treating him for depression 2 weeks previously.. 

A few days later we got told it was primary which is the best news we could have.

A few weeks later we got told it was grade 4, Glioblastoma and no cure!  I was heart broken!!!

Dad had chemotherapy, radiotherapy and two major operations to remove the tumour, but still wasn't enough. April 2017 we had the news that the Doctors couldn't do anything else for Dad.  He previously had a few seizures due to the tumour which brought his scan forward which then told us his tumour was growing again. We wasn't going to give up that easy! I did my research and ordered some CBD oil to see if that could increase Dads life, we made lots of memories and took each day as they come. But sadly Dad was deteriorating right in front of us. Sadly Dad lost his fight to this horrendous disease on saturday 16th September 2017 at 5 AM, Dad was at home in his own bed which he wanted and he went piecefully with me by his side (singing to him listening to smoothfm!) Dad wasnt high on drugs and he looked so pieceful and thats all we wanted for him.

Dad fought so hard and is the strongest and bravest man i know. 

I never thought anything would happen like this to my family but it has and we take each day as they come now without Dad physically with us but I know he's always by our side.

So I would like to raise as much money as I can to this charity to help families like mine, and so other families don't have to go through what my family is. 

Together we can find a cure!

Every penny counts!

Thank you so much for your continuing support

Love Toni xxx
