Mason’s Extraordinary Fundraising
Mason Morgan was an incredible fundraiser who took on multiple marathons to raise funds for Guy’s Cancer Charity and Macmillan Cancer Support, all while navigating life with an incurable brain tumour.
In September 2022, Mason was diagnosed with a high-grade brain tumour. Despite facing the harsh reality of a terminal and incurable condition, he embarked on a journey of resilience, determination, and hope.
Mason set out to raise awareness about brain tumours and to help improve patient outcomes in the future. He committed to raising funds for Guy’s Cancer Charity and Macmillan Cancer Support. Over the course of a year, Mason completed a series of inspiring challenges, such as the ASICS 10k, Royal Parks Half Marathon, and London Landmarks Half Marathon. Every step and every mile was a powerful testament to Mason’s unwavering determination to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
My ambitions are to raise awareness of brain tumours, increase the data that is available because it is currently insufficient, and help contribute to a social shift that makes people more aware of brain tumours. Albeit my diagnosis being poor, I don't want to let cancer define me, and I will try my utmost to battle it and be like the old me as much as possible.
Through his fundraising efforts, Mason contributed towards ground-breaking projects like HyperArc at Guy’s Cancer. HyperArc represents a revolutionary advancement in the treatment of brain tumours, offering targeted radiotherapy with unparalleled precision. By optimising treatment planning and delivery, HyperArc minimises side effects and shortens treatment times, ensuring that patients receive the care they need more efficiently.
Mason was a shining example of courage, resilience, and hope. His story reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is light to be found. Through his remarkable fundraising efforts and unwavering dedication, Mason not only raised vital funds for cancer research and support, but also inspired others to join him in the fight against cancer.
We are deeply saddened by Mason’s recent passing. We are profoundly grateful for his incredible support and commitment, and are honoured to have been part of his mission. His legacy will continue to inspire and make a lasting impact.
