A Gift for Gav; Standing up to Brain Cancer

06/08/2026

Watching Archie Goodburn on BBC Breakfast broke our hearts, but it also gave us so much strength. As a family going through our own daily battle with aggressive brain cancer, we know exactly what sits behind his brave words: the fear, the shock, and the brutal reality of a life you never chose.

However, there is another devastating side to this reality that so many families like ours face. To keep our loved one alive, we have had to fundraise over £100,000 for alternative therapies not available on the NHS. Yet, even this phenomenal amount hasn’t granted full access to the treatment needed. We are forced to keep fighting every day, raising more funds just to maintain the lowest level of care available because we simply do not have the resources or the network to raise enough.

Behind the statistics are real families desperately begging for donations, hosting raffles, and facing financial ruin just to buy more time. In this position, your social reach becomes your lifeline; without consistent public engagement, you lose access to life-saving funds. Archie’s openness is a vital reminder that patients and families deserve to be heard, properly funded, and supported. Thank you, Archie, for using your platform to shine a light on this devastating disease. Everyone fighting is overwhelmingly grateful for your voice.

A heartbreaking plea, but incredible for raising awareness; let’s see how Andy Burnham responds.

We will be writing to our own local MP, Toby Perkins MP, in the coming days, and we strongly recommend everyone else writes to their local MP to share their voice and journey. The more voices we raise, the louder we will be, change only happens when people come together.

Brain cancer patients continue to be failed every single day in the UK; they are written off and left behind, with many spending their remaining days having to fundraise just to stay alive.

More and more young people are being diagnosed with this disease, and something needs to change.

Please contact your MP, tell your story, and demand change.

When facing a life-limiting diagnosis, families hit a breaking point in a flawed healthcare system. We need an immediate shift in priorities: medical emergencies and patient care must be funded ahead of ideology and identity politics.

The Ultimate Hierarchy: Why Is Terminally Ill Care Being Starved While Millions Go to Physical Transition?

Healthcare funding allocation is a significant talking point now, raising serious ethical questions. On one hand, brain cancer remains the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40. In the UK, around 3,200 people are diagnosed with glioblastoma each year, where median survival is a mere 12 to 14 months with conventional treatment, and under 6 months without it. Shockingly, minimal research advances have been made in the last 15 to 20 years. Instead of enjoying what little time they have left, devastated families are forced to spend their final days desperately fundraising for alternative treatments abroad, stripping away precious time and memory-making during a terrifying medical emergency.

On the other hand, an estimated £100 million is spent on transgender dysphoria every single year via the NHS, with a large portion funding physical interventions like gender reassignment surgeries. Many argue that gender dysphoria should be classified and treated strictly as a psychological disorder, using therapy rather than irreversible physical alterations. When resources are tight, there is a massive disparity in urgency and clinical need. Imagine the breakthroughs we could achieve if millions spent on physical transition interventions were redirected towards finding a cure for terminal brain cancer instead.

This situation highlights a massive contradiction in modern political priorities. Left-wing ideology claims to focus on dismantling unfair hierarchies, but true equality is impossible when urgent medical underinvestment allows people to die prematurely from fatal illnesses. Treating psychological disorders with expensive physical surgeries while starving critical care creates the ultimate hierarchy, where the basic right to survive a deadly disease is pushed to the bottom. A fair healthcare system must look at these gaps and ensure urgent, life-saving cures take absolute priority.
