At 25 years of age, Andrew had recently graduated, was embarking on a career and was about to become a father. He was a kind, family-oriented, fun-loving young man with the world at his feet. The diagnosis of a malignant brain tumour was utterly devastating for him, his partner, his family and his friends.

Despite the grim prognosis Andrew accepted all the medical treatment on offer with optimism. He was able to return to work, complete a second degree, have another child, travel to Italy and celebrate his 30th birthday. Andrew was blessed in having a supportive and loving family who enabled him to fulfil his wish to live his last years well and with purpose.

We want everyone to have access to a level of support that ensures they experience moments of joy and comfort. It is heart-warming for Andrew’s family to know that the Trust has been established in his memory, and will assist other brain cancer patients and their families during this most challenging and difficult of times.
