Leicestershire Man Raises Funds for Cancer Treatment

Isaac Wilton, a 21-year-old from Coalville, UK, experienced a sudden seizure at the gym in April 2024, leading to a diagnosis of grade 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor with a grim average survival rate of 12-18 months. After undergoing surgery to remove the tumor, Isaac has been receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy. His family has raised £162,000 for innovative immunotherapy treatment, which aims to use his own tumor to create a vaccine that could enhance his immune response against cancer. In a show of determination, Isaac is participating in a 13-mile trek from Leicester City's King Power Stadium to Coalville Clock Tower to further raise funds and awareness about brain tumors. He expressed the significance of this journey, connecting his love for football with his battle against the disease. Isaac hopes to inspire others while advocating for the research and treatments needed for brain tumor patients.
