Remembering Our Founders

Ian Hardy
Diagnosed with a GBM4 in 2011, Ian was a beacon of hope and strength for those around him. His passion for helping others, even in the face of personal challenges, has left a lasting legacy within The Three Tumours and beyond.
Richard Stewart
Richard’s dedication to The Three Tumours was instrumental in its establishment. Diagnosed in 2015, he worked tirelessly to raise awareness and funds, leaving behind a legacy of compassion and determination.
