We are deeply saddened that OurBrainBank Trustee Laura Nuttall died on May 22, 2023, age 23. Read about her extraordinary life in the Guardian.
Read her GBM story on our website. This was written in 2022 by her mother Nicola Nuttall, also an OurBrainBank Trustee. Nicola is an incredible campaigner for improving glioblastoma research funding and treatment in the UK.
Follow Nicola on Twitter where she writes posts like:
I’m going to keep banging on about the lack of funding & treatment options because I just don’t want other families to go through the same hell we have.
Nicola wrote:
As a family we have been shocked to find that brain tumours are the biggest cancer killers of children and adults under 40, yet in the UK this deadly cancer receives only 2% of the total cancer spend. This must change so that brain cancer has equivalent profile and research funding to other, less rare cancers.
Nicola's website DoingItForLaura contains more about Laura, GBM treatment in the UK and Germany, plus useful tips and recommendations.
We will never forget you Laura.
