Run for children like Leighton

Leighton, from West Yorkshire, was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a type of brain tumour, on 12 February 2019 when he was just six years old.

Leighton is now 12 years old and after having to learn to walk and talk again, he still had weakness to his left side along with processing issues due to acquired brain injury through the surgery, and continues to have regular physio and occupational therapy to help support rebuilding his stability. Despite all of this he continues to smile and takes everything in his stride.

You can read Leighton’s story here.

Support children like Leighton so that they have a future they deserve.
