Devastating Diagnosis
When Errol McDowell first started experiencing headaches at the age of 12, doctors weren't concerned. However, after months of persistent symptoms, Errol was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumor. This marked the beginning of a challenging journey for the McDowell family.
Taken Too Soon
Despite undergoing grueling treatments and participating in clinical trials, Errol's cancer returned. He tragically passed away at the age of 18, leaving behind a legacy of fundraising and awareness-raising efforts through Canceragogo.com.
A Brilliant Boy
Rider McDowell, Errol's father, fondly remembers his son as a brave and wise young man who handled his illness with incredible strength. Errol's brothers have continued his mission by raising funds for childhood cancer research in the UK.
Spreading the Word
Rider urges parents to trust their instincts and seek medical advice if they suspect something is wrong with their children. He emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about brain tumors and the lack of funding for pediatric cancers.
March is Brain Tumour Awareness Month, highlighting the ongoing efforts to diagnose and treat brain tumors. To learn more about this critical cause, visit The Institute of Cancer Research website.
