This is James doing his 5 jumps for the day! This is difficult for him, but he is strong and determined to do it to raise money for @BrainTumourOrg and support @HeadSmartUK. James suffered many side effects from countless surgeries and treatments, however his love has never faded

Charities are still left waiting for government support. They are still on the front line, and their services are needed more than ever. Please help us make some noise until we (the entire charity sector) are heard. #EveryDayCounts @RishiSunak @10DowningStreet
Passion, determination and care doesn't pay the bills - charities urgently need government support, just like all the other sectors. We are on the front line everyday through this crisis - need for our services don't stop in a pandemic #EveryDayCounts

A huge thank you to @KirstyLMitchell and @BBCCasualty for raising vital awareness of brain tumours, the symptoms to be aware of and the support families desperately need. Tune in tomorrow to watch the story develop.

“it was a powerful storyline that would raise awareness of not only how horrific this disease is on a child but on the rest of the family and the powerlessness the parents feel.” Thank you Kirsty & BBC for raising vital awareness of brain tumours & @HeadSmartUK #ACureCantWait 3/3
