Story

Oli has been so brave over the last three weeks since he was admitted to hospital on 08.01.22 and became a donor hero on 28.01.22.  

Heartbroken doesn't begin to cover the shock and loss of my boyfriend, and son to Wendy & Robin, his grandparents, best friends, everybody who has been touched by Oli and his beautiful life over the past 26 years. 

The doctor's had discovered he had a brain tumour. The news was such a shock but everyone close to him still had so much hope he'd pull through, being as young and healthy as he was. Unfortunately the type of brain tumour he had, which was a glioma in the brain stem, had a different plan to the one we were hoping for. 

We have some peace knowing he won't be in any pain where he is now, and a little bit of good news has come out of it -  as he has given a second chance at life to four people and hope to their families, following the news that there was nothing that could be done to save our Oli.

Incredibly, we were told by the donor nurse that only 1 in 100 who are able to donate organs actually make this decision and help others - we are so so proud of him.

If you would like to show your support please consider donating to either or both of these wonderful charities: The Donor Family Network, and The Brain Tumour Charity. We thought something like this would be so much more meaningful than people spending their money on flowers, as it will have a much bigger impact on other people who are going through tragic situations like we have. 

Miss you Oliver, you'll always have a special place in our hearts. Xx
