Help Dave Fight Glioblastoma

Dave is a devoted husband and father, a loving friend, and an avid pinball enthusiast. He has always found joy in spending time with his family and friends, enjoying life, playing and restoring pinball machines with friends and all things Darts!

Recently, Dave’s world changed in an instant when he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer.

Not long ago, life was about family, friends, plans, and the things Dave loved. Now, he is facing a frightening and uncertain journey filled with medical appointments, treatment, travel, and difficult decisions.

The Support From the NHS

Throughout this incredibly difficult time, the NHS has been there for Dave and his family. From his diagnosis and investigations through to his ongoing treatment and care, the doctors, nurses, specialists, and wider medical teams have shown tremendous compassion, professionalism, and dedication.

Dave and his family are incredibly grateful for everything the NHS has done — and continues to do — to support him. Their care has been a source of reassurance during an overwhelming and frightening time.

Alongside this NHS support, Dave and his family are exploring specialist treatment and expert medical care in Germany, hoping to access additional expertise and treatment options for his complex brain tumour.

Why Germany?

Dave is seeking specialist care in Germany, where he may have access to experienced teams specialising in complex brain tumours. His care may involve specialist consultations, further investigations, ongoing treatment, and assessment of available treatment options and clinical trials, depending on his individual circumstances.

This journey comes with significant additional costs. Medical expenses, consultations, medications, travel, accommodation, and everyday living costs can quickly add up — particularly at a time when Dave is unable to work while undergoing treatment and recovery.

How Your Support Can Help

Specialist glioblastoma treatment and medical consultations in Germany

Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference.

Dave has a difficult road ahead, but he should not have to walk it alone.
