Our beautiful son Jake died from a brain tumour on 24th Dec 2012 at just 24 years old. We want to raise awareness of the symptoms of brain tumours & save lives.

Amazing afternoon at @BrainTumourOrg HQ meeting the researchers Dr.Tyler Miller & Dr.Spencer Watson who are both inspiring in their quest to find a cure for Glionlastomas. Thanks to Phoebe at The Brain Tumour Charity for the invite

@shitscaredmum @BrainTumourOrg @braintumourrsch @ourbrainbank Totally agree it seems that government leave brain tumours out of the equation when considering paying for much needed research & leave it to charities to fund. Much more help is needed to fight this devastating disease that robs us of our loved ones 💔

@alisoncaplan @shitscaredmum We lost Jake 11 years ago this Xmas Eve not a day goes by that we don’t think about him we miss him so much & that never changes. Just reading a book called The Worst Loss by Barbara D.Rosof it says everything we know about losing a child totally devastating & heartbreaking 💔

@rachaelvenables @SkyNews Such a good article highlighting the fact that treatment for brain tumours has not progressed like other areas of the world U.K. has been using the same treatment for the past 50 years we need to do better !! 💙⚓️

33 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour every day in the UK. Knowing the signs can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment, so it's important to come together and raise awareness for #BetterSafeThanTumour https://t.co/swvvHJDBpM
