Man’s ‘unquenchable thirst’ was sign he hada brain tumor
White’s diagnosis of an aggressive glioblastoma led to surgery and treatment, and he has since raised more than $125,000 for research.
- Gavin White completed the TCS London Marathon on Sunday, raising funds for Brain Tumor Research after nearly three years of living with a brain tumor diagnosis.
- White collapsed in Greece in July 2023 during a family vacation and was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, an aggressive tumor affecting around 3,200 people annually in high-income countries.
- Having raised over $125,000 for Brain Tumor Research with colleagues, White lives "scan to scan," managing his ongoing treatment through three-month intervals between medical assessments.
- Carol Robertson, national events manager at Brain Tumor Research, said: "Gavin's determination to take on the London Marathon is truly inspiring," emphasizing the urgent need for research investment.
- Training for the Milton Keynes Marathon in May 2025 kept White physically fit and mentally occupied during treatment, demonstrating how athletic events provide both coping mechanism and fundraising platform.
