Story

On 19th May 2023, myself, and others from 'Aaron's Army' are completing a firewalk, in memory of our beautiful, brave Aaron.

On April 9th 2023, Aaron lost his 3 year battle against a rare, high grade brain tumour, an Ependymoma. He was just 7 years old.

Aaron was, and always will be, our golden superhero. His strength and determination will forever be an inspiration to us. His infectious smile and personality was adored by everyone he would meet. We want his legacy to live on, giving hope to others, that one day, a cure might be achieved. And so that no other family has to face the heartbreak that we are.

I am fundraising for Brain Tumour Research, for our beautiful Aaron, in his memory, 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.

Devistatingly, 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!
