Milton Keynes teacher inspires pupils after tumour diagnosis

The Redway School took part in a Wear A Hat Day fundraiser a day early to tie in with their end-of-term assembly.

Charlie Allsebrook, a community development manager for Brain Tumour Research, said: “With one in three people knowing someone affected by a brain tumour, Kirsty’s story is, sadly, not unique.

"Brain tumours kill more women under 35 than breast cancer, more men under 70 than prostate cancer and more children than leukaemia. We’re determined to change that but we can’t do it alone.

"We’re really grateful to Kirsty and her colleagues and pupils at the Redway School for their support. Together we will find a cure.”
