🌟 Callum’s Story – Our Superhero 🌟

Born on 8th April 2019, Callum was diagnosed with a rare ATRT brain tumour at just 4 weeks old. Thanks to the bravery of his neurosurgeon, Dr. Mano, surgery went ahead—giving Callum the chance to start treatment and fight with incredible strength.

Despite his young age, Callum took everything in his stride. He smiled through chemo, loved his bottle feeds, and adored being entertained by his big brother, Lewis. By his 1st birthday, Callum could sit unaided—an amazing achievement after all he’d been through.

💙 He loved Mr Tumble, ice cream, and going on adventures.
💪 He worked hard in physio to meet milestones after treatment left him with weakness.
🏡 He thrived during lockdown—soaking up family time, walks, and simple joys.

In June 2022, a second tumour was discovered in his brain stem. After a difficult surgery and more chemo, Callum kept smiling. He pretended to be a dinosaur for the nurses and welcomed his new baby brother, Zack, with kisses and cuddles.

In March 2023, another tumour returned. This time, surgery and chemo were no longer options. The focus turned to comfort, joy, and memory-making. Callum and his family filled their time with love—short breaks, ice cream trips, and peaceful days together.

❤️ Callum’s courage, love, and laughter touched everyone who met him.

To honour his life and continue supporting other families, we created
The Big C Foundation — Callum’s legacy of hope, strength, and kindness.

Still our superhero. Always remembered.
