Fighting for Change—Brain Cancer Justice With Billy The Brave & Gorgeous George

On this week's episode, we're joined by Louise Fox, a mother who has turned unimaginable personal loss into a powerful force for change. Louise's son George was a bright, animal-loving 12-year-old when he began having headaches that were repeatedly dismissed as harmless. Eleven months later, he died from an aggressive brain tumour. In the years since, Louise has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for Brain Tumour Research , supported the Tessa Jowell Foundation and co-founded the Angel Mums collective to improve paediatric palliative care. She's now a leading voice in Brain Cancer Justice , a campaign demanding serious government investment and better care for brain cancer patients. Brain Cancer Justice We'll talk to Louise about how she and her family navigated those first terrifying weeks of misdiagnosis, what she learned about the shortcomings of current treatments and why she's fighting to make genome sequencing and clinical trials available to every child with a brain tumour. We'll hear about George's character and the community of "Gorgeous George" supporters who've kept his memory alive, and ask Louise what policy changes she believes could help transform brain cancer from terminal to treatable.
