Support the Angel Mums
Because no parent should have to watch their beloved child die from brain cancer
The Angel Mums need your support to make sure that future generations of children with brain cancer get the best treatment and care possible.
These amazing mums will be jumping out of a plane on the 14th October in honour of their children, who they have all lost to brain cancer.
Louise, Clair, Nikki, Nelly, Katie, Rebecca, Nikki and Natasha will skydive to raise funds for the Tessa Jowell Foundation and The Tessa Jowell Centres of Excellence for Children.
No parent should have to lose a child, especially in such a sudden and devastating way, but these courageous mums are determined to ensure that in the future, there is more that can be done for children with brain tumours.

“We wouldn’t wish how we are feeling now on any other families and are determined to raise as much money as possible to enable The Tessa Jowell Foundation to continue their truly ground-breaking work.”
At the end of this year, the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission is launching a flagship network of Tessa Jowell Centres of Excellence for Children with brain cancer. For the first time in the history of the NHS this programme will support every children's brain cancer hospital in the UK to improve the full life cycle of their services from: improving the quality and pace of research to enabling equitable access for all families to the most cutting-edge treatment and care.
Brain cancer is the biggest cancer killer of children in the UK- tragically, even if children with brain tumours do survive, often they suffer the cruellest and most debilitating long-term side effects from the invasive treatment received on their brains whilst they are at such a vital stage in their childhood development. So, our Tessa Jowell Centres of Excellence will work to provide the best possible rehabilitation and educational needs support to these children too.
As part of our awareness and fundraising push, these eight extraordinary mothers who have all lost a child to brain cancer, some as recently as this spring, called 'The Angel Mums' are doing a skydive in memory of their brave, beautiful children to raise money for this vital new initiative. They know too well the devastation of this disease and all that needs to change.
