We help people battling a brain tumour to take control following diagnosis

Story

Our family lives were changed forever in March 2015 when Steve was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. He coped extremely well with the operation to remove the tumour and a course of radio/chemotherapy.  In January 2016, a routine MRI scan did show that a tumour had started to re-grow away from the original site and that surgery sadly was no longer an option.  He started a new round of chemo in May on a UCH clinical trial, but sadly, was pulled from this when a scan in September revealed it had grown again.  He is now heading into the next phase of treatment and we want to raise as much money as possible, to help other families who are also affected by this awful disease.

We are being able to raise this money and keep it safe thanks to the wonderful charity Brainstrust.  They provide support to UK families affected by brain cancer and help them get the support, treatment and resources they require following initial diagnosis.

We can't thank you enough for supporting us and we hope to see you at one of our fundraising events soon.

With Kindest Regards
The Holbrooks x
