Angel Mums | 2025 Update
In 2024, a remarkable group of mothers—each of whom had experienced the unimaginable loss of a child to a brain tumour—came together under the name Angel Mums. Their shared grief turned into powerful action.
Last October, they completed a joint skydive, raising an incredible £77,000 and, just as importantly, shining a spotlight on the devastating reality of childhood brain tumours. But their mission didn’t stop there—they were only just getting started.
Throughout 2024, the Angel Mums took on their first major campaign:
‘Earth, Wind & Fire’—a triple challenge representing strength, fear, and resilience.
-
18th May – Snowdon Climb (Earth)
-
20th July – Wing Walk (Wind)
-
19th October – Hot Coal Walk (Fire)
Driven by love for their children and a fierce determination to make a difference, many of these mums faced—and conquered—intense physical and emotional challenges. As Louise Fox, mum of George (forever 13), shared:
“We’re terrified of many of these challenges. But our fear is nothing compared to what our children endured. We watched them go through surgeries, chemo, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, and constant pain—knowing it would only give us more time, not a cure. We do this to honour them, and to give hope to others.”
Why it matters:
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40. Yet, shockingly, only 1% of government cancer research funding goes towards brain tumours. For many of the Angel Mums, their children were given a 0% chance of survival—a sentence no family should ever hear.
The Angel Mums are fundraising for the Tessa Jowell Foundation, which is leading the way in transforming treatment and care for brain cancer in the UK. Every pound raised supports the development of Tessa Jowell Centres of Excellence for Children, with a focus on pioneering research, precision medicine, and compassionate care for families navigating these devastating diagnoses.
Their goal for 2025 is to raise £100,000+, to give future families something they didn’t have—hope.
