A mystery donor has given £300,000 to a child brain cancer charity which will go a long way to paying for 18 children, who are all suffering from a rare form of cancer, to receive a ground-breaking treatment.   Funding Neuro is looking to raise a total of £900,000 and thanks to the incredibly generous donation they have already amassed £600,000 in just the first few months of the appeal.  The charity was established to help fund the pioneering work of Professor Steven Gill, a neurosurgeon from Bristol, who has developed a ‘robotic treatment’ involving drugs being injected directly into the brain.  With few treatments available to fight the cancer known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma and with NHS funding not forthcoming, Funding Neuro is bridging the gap so that the 30-40 children diagnosed with the cancer each year in the UK have the best possible chance to beat it.  Calls for three Daily Cheer cheers to the generous donor.
