I have got an inoperable brain tumour but it has been operated on, treated and is monitored. My second favourite vocalist died due to brain cancer (pontine glioma).

Brain tumours can not only kill but if they don't, they can leave you will life ruining symptoms. Tumours of this kind are hard to operate on since they are within the skull and are often surrounded by delicate brain tissue.

The image you see is of me undergoing radiotherapy in 2009 for my tumour.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable!

I am fundraising for Brain Tumour Research as they are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please help me fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.
