Great Manchester Cycle for Josh!
Donation protected
On Sunday 28 June 2015 a Team SuperJosh will take on all 52 miles of the Great Manchester Cycle raising money for SuperJosh and his Charity legacy The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity.
Joshua was 3 ½ when he was diagnosed with a brain stem tumour. Life-saving surgery to remove the tumour left Josh with serious post-operative complications.
On Josh’s 13th Birthday in 2013, Josh and his mum, Dawn, launched the Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity with the aim of helping other families living with childhood brain tumours and post-operative complications. The charity, The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity, went on to raise £100,000 in its first year of existence.
From Christmas 2013 Dawn & Colin were told seven times in eight months her son only had 48 hours to live. Josh defied all odds, and turned 14 in August of 2014 but sadly died in November.
Since his passing, Dawn and Josh’s other family members have maintained their commitment to his Charity and have remained active and engaged with all of the charity’s supporters.

The Joshua Wilson Brain Tumour Charity, registered charity number 1151518, exists to provide help and support for families living with childhood brain tumours and post-operative complications.
The three main aims of the charity are: -
1. To raise money to enable us to support children who have or have had a brain tumour & their families with, with special focus on those who also have post surgery disabilities.
2. To provide Entertainment Packs specifically for teenage children in Hospitals in the North-West, comprising items such as X-Boxes, TVs and iPads
3. To provide advice, guidance, potential support, and a Changing Friendly “Thumbs Up” rating system to public places which offer any kind of assisted changing facilities for older children rather than babies
The charity exists purely on donations from the general public and hopes to increase on its first year achievements going forwards.
