#RajRanaFund was set up in 2012. After a 6 year fight with a brain tumour, Raj gained his angel wings on 20th April 2018 aged 8. 💙 Run by mum Suki Sandhu
£5k raised! 🥰 Thankyou everyone.Every single penny will go into research projects. I have recently asked @BrainTumourOrg where possible I would like money we raise to go towards high grade glioma research.This means looking into the kind of tumour Raj had. #LetsMakeAdifference
The first ever targeted treatment for childhood brain tumours is being introduced by NHS England. Dabrafenib & trametinib are now approved to treat brain tumours with a BRAF V600E mutation. This is a step-change for childhood brain tumours treatment!

But Suki is delighted for other families: “We need kinder drugs and new treatments for all the brain tumour community. I am hopeful other families will go on to get access to these drugs and, hopefully, remain disease-free for longer and live good quality lives.”
1/2 A huge thank you to Suki, who provided evidence to the NICE committee as a patient representative. Unfortunately, this news comes too late for her family. Her son Raj died of a high grade glioma when he was just eight.
Kinder treatment for some childhood brain tumours!
The news is out - a small scale but significant breakthrough for the #braintumour community. Find out more @BrainTumourOrg
Here’s hoping this first of many developments in precision therapies 🤞 https://t.co/vxsx7hkTZe
More children like Aaliyah will now be able to access a new targeted treatment for brain tumours.
This treatment can be taken at home meaning they spend less time in hospital and more time with their loved ones and doing things they enjoy. https://t.co/121JWDsmE5
In January 2011, just 17 people waiting longer than 12 hours on a trolley for an emergency hospital bed.
In January 2024, more than 50,000 people did.
Please RT so everyone can be aware of the damage the Conservatives have done to our NHS.
Really looking forward to welcoming @BrainTumourOrg to Mars HQ next week. We will be fundraising and raising crucial awareness through our Better Safe Than Tumour Campaign, as well as selling some delicious cakes. #braintumours#CancerAwareness
