HAPPY MOMENTS: George got to dip his toes in the sea before he passed away
Helen, who is chief executive of a Barnet charity, said: “In the summer of 2004, a routine scan showed shadow on George’s spine, which was described as a nodule. He went back to have a lumbar puncture, which was pretty unpleasant and confirmed our worst fears, that his tumour had returned.
The couple, who have been married 30 years and also have son Fred, 26, are now campaigning alongside the charityto help its petition to increase research funding reach 100,000 signatures, in the hope of prompting a parliamentary debate. The charity is calling on the Government to ring-fence £110 million of current and new funding to kick-start an increase in the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million a year by 2028.
“There will always be pain in life, you can’t get away from that, but we hope to be able to give more children a chance. Giving the brilliant scientists working on curing this disease more funding will bring a lot of hope to many families.”
