This fundraiser has been set up to support Charlie and his family as they face the toughest journey of their lives.

Charlie is a 14-year-old teenager who loves sports and has a brilliant sense of humour. Sadly, on 4 June, he was taken to A&E, where doctors discovered a brain tumour. Following surgery, further scans revealed a second tumour, and on 19 June he was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Charlie will soon begin treatment in Manchester and Birmingham, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, meaning regular travel and time away from home. This will make it extremely difficult for both parents to maintain work commitments while supporting Charlie through his treatment. As a result, household income will be reduced at a time when travel and everyday expenses are increasing, leaving the family under significant financial pressure. We're hoping to ease some of that burden so they can focus on what matters most—Charlie.

The money raised will help with travel, accommodation, fuel, meals, household bills, and other essential expenses during Charlie's treatment.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much.

Charlie has a long road ahead, but knowing people are behind him and his family will mean more than words can say.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Charlie's story and for any support you can give.
