Charlie was six years old when he was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour. His parents were told that his chance of survival was 25%, although they later found out it was a lot less due to a lack of research.Brain Tumour Research has since announced a £2.5m funding agreement with the Institute of Cancer Research , which will form the fourth Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence.
Located in Sutton, Surrey, the new centre hopes to identify new treatments for high-grade glioma brain tumours occurring in children and young adults.
