Thank You

Message from Martin and Aimee – 05.02.15
Thank you to all who have shared, expressed kind words and offered the most amazing support we could ever wish for. Your generous donations are beyond belief and we are truly touched. Thanks again for the continued support. All our love Martin, Aimee and our two fantastic boys Jacob and Oscar xxx

Our little super hero Jacob is now selling aprons to raise money for the charities that have helped us since his diagnosis, and to set up a 'fighting fund' for Jacob so we can look at other treatment options elsewhere to help him.

We need to raise national awareness of the common signs and symptoms of a brain tumour in children and young people by equipping parents, the public and healthcare professionals with information they need. This is achieved through the distribution of symptom cards and posters to raise awareness of symptoms, and the promotion of a clinical guideline and training module for health professionals.

Every day 25 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour - that's over 9,300 people every year. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of the under 40s, including children. Survival rates have not improved over the last 40 years - just 19% of people survive for 5 years or more.
