As well as to raise awareness and money for more research into childhood brain tumours, we set up Make William Well to provide a resource for other families going through this journey
As such, we receive regular requests for help and we do all we are able to. One of the hardest things about this, on many levels, is hearing back from parents who tell us that their child didn’t make it
We recently received such news from Todd and Becky, the parents of a young boy called Tommy, who had reached out to us previously for advice
On this occasion though they also told us about a fundraiser they had organised originally in Tommy’s memory and then also in memory of Michael Shiel (a dedicated supporter of theirs whose initial idea it had been to organise the fundraiser)
They managed to raise a phenomenal £3,044.48
We confirmed that 100% of all money donated through our Supporter Group is ring-fenced by The Brain Tumour Charity for research specifically into childhood brain tumours and this week the money was paid into our account
Tommy was an extremely brave boy, smiled ‘till the end, never let anything get him down and made his mummy and daddy proud beyond this world
We are humbled by how Tommy dealt with this wicked disease and in awe of his parents for holding such an event in his memory. We’re also grateful beyond words that they chose to donate it via our Supporter Group
If you would like to make a one-off donation or even set up something regular, please visit our Supporter Group Page and be generous so that children like Tommy stand a better chance
