This site is a tribute and donation page in memory of Ria Melvin. Ria battled with a Glioblastoma Grade 4 Brain Tumour for 2 years 7 months before it eventually took her life at age 25. During her brain tumour journey she carried out selfless, valuable work raising awareness of brain tumours to fight for improved treatment options to work towards a cure. 

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer yet receive less than 3% of cancer funding. We want change (and Ria did too). 

We do not want Ria to die in vain so would like to keep fundraising for these 2 important charities in her memory.

Brain Tumour Research - dedicated to funding research and raising awareness of brain tumours

The Brain Tumour Charity - providing support/information for brain tumour sufferers and their loved ones, reducing diagnosis times, raising awareness and funding research

Please choose the charity that resonates the most with you. 

Thank you,

The Melvin Family
