Slater was a baby when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He’s five now, and despite the very best in medical care, the tumour wrapped around his brain stem can’t be removed. His medical team have done everything possible to stop Slater’s tumour from growing and affecting his development.

We’re seeking to fund a Radiation Research Machine that can replicate the very thin, targeted radiation beams needed to treat a child’s cancer. It will allow researchers at the Children’s Brain Cancer Initiative (formerly the Centre for Child and Adolescent Brain Cancer Research) to conduct more accurate research.

The sooner they can access this technology, the sooner they can develop new ways to help children like Slater – who urgently needs a breakthrough.
