Kayden’s story

Kayden, 13, bravely shares how his life changed in an instant after being told he had a brain tumour.

Whilst undergoing surgery he then suffered a stroke which affected his speech, mobility and memory. He had to undergo physio whilst also receiving chemo and although he’s doing really well, it’s been an isolating experience for him.

Thanks to funding from BBC Children in Need there is a Children and Families Support Officer at The Brain Tumour Charity who is there to provide advice and bring children together at Family Days.
