A monthlater, our worst fears were confirmed when we discovered that it was a Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade IV (GBM for short). Steve's response to this wasone of sheer bravery and determination. He likened the treatment to facing a "hill and a headwind".Our missionCurrently a GBM is incurable, albeittreatable in some cases. In Steve's case,it was initiallytreatable and he underwent brain surgery and a full resection of his tumour in April 2016. What followed was a 9 month courseof radio and chemotherapy. However in January 2016, we learnt that his tumour was growing back, this time in a different position where surgery was not an option. Steve endured further chemotherapy between May and November 2016, but this further treatment did not stunt or shrink his tumour. Devastatingly, Steve passed away on November 30th 2016, aged just 37 years and 21 months post diagnosis.In Steve's memory,we are hoping to raise as much money as possible in order to help find a cure for this awful disease and to help other families who are living day-to-day, fighting this fight. As such, we will continue to raise money for 2 UK charities; Brainstrust and Brain Tumour Research.Brainstrust aim to improve clinical care for brain tumour sufferers and provide co-ordinated support in the search for treatment. Brain Tumour Researchare doing great work to campaign for greater research and funding into brain tumours nationally.​Latest project​Sainsbury sisters v London Marathon 2019!A long standing ambition of ours, Donna and I took to the streets of London with the masses and ran the marathon in aid of Brain Tumour Research.​It was one of the most amazing and most painful experiences ever!
