Nikki Saunders from Essex is campaigning to raise awareness of glioblastoma - an aggressive type of brain tumour.
A nurse who lost her mother and brother to brain cancer within weeks of each other has welcomed a £1.2m investment in research.
While visiting her in hospital, Mr Simons felt ill which led his sister to demand that he also have a scan. "Paul was determined that he and mum would beat this. They were both so brave and showed dignity, strength and love to us all throughout." Glioblastomas affect more than 3,000 people a year in the UK and typical survival is 12 to 18 months.
The new project also aims to make glioblastoma cells sensitive to immunotherapy to greatly enhance the chance of survival.
