See below for more information about Josh and his Charity
Josh Wilson was diagnosed with a brain tumour when he was the tender age of three. After going through life saving surgery he was unfortunately left in a coma for three months, also developing epilepsy, joint problems, scoliosis and a brain injury. Despite these hurdles, Josh (aka Super Josh) spawned the beginning of The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity that now offers help, support and financial solutions to children and their families who are in the same situation.
Although Josh lost the ability to communicate verbally, he developed a series of signs that allowed him to talk to the ones he loved, this includes a thumbs up, for yes, which was consequently developed into the charities logo. As a registered charity, spearheaded by the thumbs up logo, Josh with his parents and close friends have managed to raise £100,000 through organising several ‘Thumbraisers’ in cities all across the UK, with the name again being inspired by Josh’s clever signings.
Josh was very proud of his charity and what it had become, however it was with great sadness that Josh passed away in November after his long-standing post surgical problems. This has not halted the charities efforts however as it is continuing to put on Thumbraisers to continue helping children like Josh and their families. Since the charity was set up, a number of patrons have stood by the charity, these include Adrian Morley, Kay Burley, Richard Fairbass, Peter Fahy and in particular Sacha Lord-Marchionne of The Warehouse Project.
