Thomas MacIntyre-Valentine Memorial Fund

 

Thomas MacIntyre-Valentine was diagnosed with an inoperable brainstem glioma in 2012. Following his diagnosis, he was treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy and put on steroids. He lived with the tumour for eight years, but in February 2020, it started to spread and he declined quickly. Thomas passed away in June 2020, aged 30.

A year on from her tragic loss, Thomas’ wife Sheira has set up The Thomas MacIntyre-Valentine Memorial Fund to continue his legacy. The Fundraising Group will ensure his memory lives on, whilst raising money and awareness to help find a cure for this devastating disease.

Retired Fundraising Groups

Our Fundraising Groups are set up by families who have lost loved ones to brain tumours or have a loved one with a brain tumour diagnosis. Sometimes there comes a time when a family may wish to continue their work of raising awareness and funds, but in a less formal way.

We are grateful to all our Fundraising Groups, past and present, for the invaluable work they do within their communities to promote the brain tumour cause and make a difference in our mission to find a cure for all types of brain tumours.

The following are Fundraising Groups who have retired from active duty, but remain very much a part of our brain tumour community:
