Let's Talk About Brain Tumours

Episode 58 - Hidden disabilities


Listen Later

We meet Gavin Burden and Louise Worthington who have both been diagnosed with brain tumours. Gavin has been living with his brain tumour since he was 21 - for 28 years. Gavin and Louise have been friends for a long time so when Louise was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2018 Gavin contacted her to offer support.
In the episode, they share the difficulties of living with hidden disabilities as Gavin has since lost 75% of his vision.

Despite these challenges, they have decided to celebrate Gavin turning 50 by taking on a 25km challenge! You can find out more about Gavin and Louise here
