Please Help Us Give Danielle the Gift of Time

Danielle is 42.

She is a wife.

She is a mum to two children aged 9 and 12.

She is everything to her family.

In July 2023, she collapsed at home after a sudden seizure. Her children ran for help. CPR saved her life.

A week later, she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

By Christmas, we were told the truth.

Grade 4 Glioblastoma. Terminal. Incurable.

12–14 months to live if limited to NHS treatment.

Since then, Danielle has endured two brain surgeries, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, relentless seizures, and life-altering complications — all while trying to protect her children from how serious this really is.

For nearly two years, scans gave us hope.

Now the tumour is growing again. Fast.

Her latest MRI shows aggressive regrowth, including a 2cm mass formed in just three months. There are no further surgical options available on the NHS.

We are running out of time.

The Only Option Left

Danielle has been referred for DCVax-L, a personalised immunotherapy vaccine designed to help the immune system recognise and fight brain tumour cells.

It is not available on the NHS.

The treatment costs around £120,000 for the first year, with further immune-supportive therapies, monitoring, and private care potentially bringing the total cost of treatment to up to £250,000.

Thanks to the incredible kindness of family, friends, and strangers over the past two years, £112,000 has already been raised through GoFundMe and other fundraising efforts.

Of this, around £44,000 has already been used for Danielle’s ongoing private treatments, immunotherapy, travel, accommodation in London, and supportive therapies.

Danielle currently has £64,000 available to start the DCVax-L vaccine manufacturing.

This means Danielle can begin the process — something we are deeply grateful for — but much more funding is still needed to continue the treatment and give it the best possible chance to work.

We need a total of £186,000. Danielle also wants to have some immune boosting therapies which will enhance the effect of the vaccine.

This treatment is not a cure.

But it could mean:

More birthdays.

More school runs.

More bedtime stories.

More ordinary days that suddenly mean everything.

Danielle’s children have already watched their mum collapse.

They are just 9 and 12.

Brian is preparing for a future no husband should ever have to imagine.

We refuse to accept that this is the end of her story.

If you can donate — please do.

If you can’t — please share.

Help us give Danielle what she is fighting so hard for.

More time.
