Family’s ‘joy’ at raising £100,000 for son’s brain tumour treatment

A family have told of their “unspeakable joy” after raising more than £100,000 for their son to have pioneering brain tumour treatment.

Ollie Gardiner, 12, from Aston Clinton, Buckinghamshire, recovered after initially being diagnosed in May 2015.

But earlier this year his parents were told the cancer had come back, and his condition was considered “incurable”.

The fundraising effort was to get him a new treatment not available on the NHS. Ollie described the news as “amazing”.
