US EditionFan's devastating diagnosis after forgetting the names of players
- Jamie Acaster, a lifelong Sheffield Wednesday fan and father of two, died in hospital on September 1, 2024, after a fatal lung blood clot.
- He was diagnosed in April 2023 with a glioblastoma, an aggressive brain tumor, after forgetting football players’ names and struggling with conversations.
- Donna, Jamie’s sister and a nurse from Sheffield, became concerned as his symptoms deteriorated and strongly encouraged him to seek emergency medical attention when his memory and mental clarity continued to decline.
- In memory of Jamie, Donna arranged a 14-mile charity walk named "A Jaunt For Jamie" on March 10, 2025—his 49th birthday—which raised close to £2,000 for Brain Tumour Research.
- The event underscored the urgent need for increased funding and awareness, given only one per cent of cancer research spending targets brain tumours.
