Hello, I'm Olivia, age 11, and together with my Brother Harrison, age 8 (and a little help from Mummy!), we decided to set up this page to remember our daddy.
He was diagnosed in March 2018 with 2 grade 4 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), and was given 6-12 months to live.
Sadly, he died on the 30th October 2018, not long after my 11th Birthday :(
We remember daddy always being silly and trying to make us laugh. He also let us eat sweets (a lot) and sometimes let us have fizzy drinks! He would always take us to the shop to buy us our treats when he saw us! He loved to play on the computer with Harrison, and Harrison loved beating him at games!
When Mummy told us daddy was poorly, we thought he would get better eventually, but he didn't. We were told he was going to die, no one knew when, but it happened so quickly, one minute he was daddy and we were playing at the park with him, the next we found him to be acting a bit weird. Mummy explained that it was to do with the tumours in his brain. These tumours took away the daddy we knew. When we were at the park in June 2018, he was still acting like daddy, he looked a bit different as he was bigger and we knew that was because of his medication, but he was still able to play with us. Then we visited him again and he wasn't daddy anymore, it was really upsetting. We know that many people go through this too, even children die because of brain tumours, so we want to do as much as we can to try and raise money so that one day they can find a cure and no one else will have to lose their daddy.
We would love friends of daddy to share stories and photos, so that we can all remember him and when we are older we can always come back here and read through the stories and look at all the photos.
We would also be very happy if you could donate to Brain Tumour research to help find a cure.
Thanks for reading
Olivia & Harrison

You are very brave Olivia & Harrison & thankyou for continuing to raise funds in memory of your Dad. I am much older than you but I also lost my Dad in a short period of time when he was diagnosed with a Grade 4 Glioblastoma in 2011. My Dad had shown no signs of having a brain tumour before his diagnosis in April, but he died a few months later. I pray that one day research will find a better treatment/cure or be able to prevent brain tumours & I hope my donation will help towards much needed funding.
With love from KGB grounds maintenance and Thurlaston Juniors
Love to all ♥️
