In memory of Joe Rawcliffe

The GlioBabes, a podcast created by two young women who were both diagnosed with brain tumours at a young age. Mel and Mol are creating a safe space to talk about their experiences and to raise awareness of brain tumours and ill health within the young population.

In this episode, Mel and Mol welcome Richard Rawcliffe, the father of Joe, who died of a brain tumour in January 2020 after being dismissed from September 2019 despite many GP appointments. The Northern Joe’s Fund set up in his name has raised over £100,000, and his birthday falls with this release of this episode (May 25th) where Richard will be taking on his annual challenge to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity.

Find out what he’s up to this year in the episode!

We do talk about the access to GP concerns, as we know 1 in 10 wait over a year for their diagnosis, and most brain tumours are diagnosed in A&E settings.
