We are reaching out during one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced.

Our father, Gerry, has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive and fast-growing type of brain tumour, a diagnosis that has turned our world upside down. He is not just a father, but a husband, a brother, and an amazing grandfather, as well as a friend who has always been there for others with strength, kindness, and unwavering support. He is such a selfless man who has given his whole life to others, and this is something we would love to do in return for him. Now, he needs our help.

Unfortunately, traditional cancer treatments have not offered a good prognosis, and we are faced with the harsh reality of limited options here. But after exploring all available alternatives, we have been given a glimmer of hope. A specialised treatment programme in Germany. This treatment offers a chance, something we are holding onto with everything we have. Our hope is that this treatment will improve his prognosis.

We are setting up this GoFundMe to help contribute towards the cost of his treatment and make accessing this opportunity possible. Every contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward giving him the best possible chance.

If you are unable to donate, we completely understand, sharing this page with others would mean just as much to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and for any support you can give. It truly means more than words can express.

With gratitude,

The McErlean Family
