William's Cancer Treatment

In early 2014 our then 18-month old son, William, was diagnosed with an Ependymoma - a brain tumour.

Although it was removed and he underwent a gruelling 9-months of chemotherapy, the tumour came back in August 2015.

The tumour was again surgically removed with a view to treating what was left with radiotherapy. 

This page was originally set up to raise money to help with funding for Proton Beam Therapy (a less damaging form of radiotherapy than that offered in the UK) with any extra money raised going towards treating his tumour should the radiotherapy not be successful.

Devastatingly, the tumour grew back to become larger than before the second surgery within a month of being removed and we had no other option than to proceed with UK treatment.

Especially given how fast the tumour has grown we are now fundraising for future treatment. This will likely mean supporting research projects into William's type of tumour (Brain Tumour Research is drastically underfunded).
