For a person facing their final days of a life-threatening diagnosis, quality of life is everything.
When Stuart received his diagnosis of a life-threatening brain tumour, he and Lily knew they had to make the most of their limited time together. They were determined to pledge their love to earch other and marry—even in the devastating knowledge that their days as husband and wife were numbered.
Just 16 months after Stuart’s diagnosis, Lily had to say the most heart-breaking goodbye to the love of her life…
But not before Stuart had the chance to fulfil his dream of being able to stand and kiss Lily on their wedding day—thanks to support from Mena, his specialist and Charlies researcher.
Your generous support can give even more people like Stuart their best shot at achieving the most extraordinary goals on their bucket list—before it’s too late.
You can help Charlies to continue funding important research like Mena’s and work towards giving people access to better options to manage life-threatening conditions like brain cancer.
Please make your tax-deductible gift today, so more people like Stuart can have the quality and length of life they need to enjoy their precious time with loved ones.
Below is a beautiful video of Stuart and Lily's wedding day, so you can see for yourself how much it meant for them to celebrate their love for one another with friends and family.
