Story

I’m skydiving to raise money for Brain Tumour Research in memory of my friend Ethan. Ethan was diagnosed with glioblastoma (GBM) in 2019, at just 15 years old. Despite undergoing extensive treatment, including seeking care in Germany, he passed away on November 26th 2021, at the age of 17.

I’m fundraising in Ethan’s memory to raise awareness of this cruel disease and help fund research for better treatment options.

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.
