THREE York mothers whose children all suffered from brain tumours have launched a campaign to raise awareness of such conditions.
Julia Holding, Marie Hughes and Emma Taylor want to reduce the time it takes to diagnose children and young people with brain tumours in the UK.
The trio will start their campaign by manning a stall in St Helen’s Square in York tomorrow to draw attention to the HeadSmart: Be Brain Tumour Aware campaign, run by The Brain Tumour Charity.
Julia’s daughter Ruby, of South Bank, was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of seven and the illness has left the Scarcroft Primary School pupil blind.
