Russ was very much loved and will be missed by family, friends, neighbours and colleagues.
His passion for life and laughter ensures he will always be remembered.
Russ so dearly wanted a cure. In his memory, help us to raise much needed funds for Brain Research UK and The Brain Tumour Charity UK to support the research to treat and eradicate brain tumours and for Marie Curie to enable them to care for people with and affected by a terminal condition to lead dignified and independent lives for as long as possible.
You can donate by clicking on the button top right. A brief description of each of the charities is below.
Brain Research UK's funding is currently focused on three priority research areas one of which is brain tumours and in particular Glioblastoma's which was Russ's diagnosis. This is a large unmet patient need that is not reflected in current funding levels. By concentrating their efforts Brain Research UK can have a more significant impact and hopefully find a cure for this and many other brain conditions.
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives they are moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. They're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. Their slogan is - a cure really can't wait.
Russ had amazing support from Marie Curie who provided care and nursing to enable him to stay at home for long periods throughout his illness. Marie Curie is a charity that supports those with a terminal condition to help them and those affected by their diagnosis to achieve the best quality of life, and support them to keep their independence and dignity for as long as possible. Russ's quality of life would have been even more severely impacted without them and their dedication and care was a massive help to all the family.
Thank you and much love
