My grandson Aaron passed away on Friday from a hypothalamic glioma . There is little or no hope of a cure offered and treatment has changed little over the years generally consisting of treating the symptoms rather than curing the problem. More research is urgently needed to help Children from this dreadful disease.

Please support this as we as a country still take far too long to diagnose brain tumours in children. Family member was only 2 when they were eventually diagnosed. Many doctors appointments and tearful phone calls. Eventually a video of them having a seizure worked. Thankfully they are now fully recovered but more needs to be done now!
