 I'm Huw, a dad and a 39 year-old GP living with incurable brain cancer. I've always poured my energy into the things I love: family, friends, food &amp; cooking, sports, travel and caring for my patients. I also love staying active - I completed the Manchester half marathon in June 2026 while on chemotherapy.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I'm dad to my amazing 3 year-old son Jacob, and husband to my lovely wife Laura. We have two gorgeous dogs Dexter and Kora to complete the family. I'm also a son, brother, uncle, grandson, cousin, nephew and friend to wonderful people who have been there for me through the best and hardest times in my life.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I was diagnosed with a brain tumour after I had a seizure on Boxing Day 2019. After 8 hours of awake surgery - which means I am conscious throughout the operation - followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, the tumour remained stable for several years and I was able to return to living life and the job that I genuinely love, being a GP.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Unfortunately, the tumour returned, requiring further awake surgery and different types of chemotherapy treatment, but now the chemotherapy has stopped working. The tumour is growing again.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I am now facing further surgery followed by radiotherapy. Whilst I am relieved that surgery is still an option, the reality of awake surgery means it is incredibly painful and frightening, as well as being risky and uncertain.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Alongside this, I have met with a clinic (CeGaT) in Germany who offer a new immunotherapy treatment that is not available in the UK. They plan to use tissue sample from my upcoming surgery to manufacture a personalised vaccine to target my cancer. Although it's not been clinically trialled in the UK there is evidence that this modern treatment can be effective in slowing tumour growth, hopefully giving me precious extra time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 As a family we've raised over £15,000 for Brain Tumour Research and The Christie Cancer Charity. I am now asking for fundraising to help me through this next difficult phase. I will need to take time off work while having and recovering from the brain surgery, putting more financial pressure on my family. We have already had to sell our “forever home”, downsizing to reduce this pressure as much as possible.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Any funds raised will be used in helping support me and my family, both by gaining access to this expensive life-extending treatment and providing greater financial stability for Jacob’s future. The cost of the treatment alone is €90,000. On top of this I also need to think about travelling to and from Germany for treatment.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 In the event that I am unable to travel for the immunotherapy treatment then the fundraising will contribute to my care and Jacob's future, giving me some much needed peace of mind about when I am no longer here.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 My ultimate goal is to stay alive for as long as possible and cherish every moment with my loved ones, especially Jacob and Laura. I will continue to give all my energy to the most special parts of my life while I can.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 I've spent my life caring for others as a GP - a career I have loved - and I have taken my own advice by using exercise to help me keep fit in body and mind. We plan to incorporate fitness goals into our fundraising events and hope to inspire a few people along the way to use fitness to promote better body and mental health.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Your support is very much appreciated. It has taken a lot for me to agree to reach out but now is the time for action. Please help me in any way you can.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you,
</div>
