Lifeline

The Brain Tumour Charity

Duration: 9 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Tom Daley presents an appeal on behalf of The Brain Tumour Charity, which supports people living with a brain tumour and their families, as well as funding research into finding a cure. Tom lost his father Rob to the disease in 2011, and he and his family have been directly supported by the charity.

Angela from Northumberland was diagnosed aged just 21. She has since received life-saving surgery to control her tumour and is now a staunch promoter of the HeadSmart campaign, which aims to raise awareness of tumour symptoms in babies, children and teenagers. The campaign saved the life of six-year-old Daniel after his mum Rosie recognised his symptoms from the HeadSmart card. Show less
