Volunteer Andy Tudor talks about how being diagnosed with a meningioma five years ago has affected his life. Andy has come up with some creative solutions for some of the side effects of his brain tumour, including coping with insomnia. In a bid to keep the night-time "thought demons" away he set up a social media account and he's built up a following of thousands by sharing positive messages when he wakes in the wee small hours. It's become the 3am Awake Club!
