So far, Harry has raised over £25,000 for Brain Tumour UK.

On hearing about Harry’s work, Truflo Marine wanted to help. As a business, Truflo Marine abides by a set of values of which one is ‘Social Commitment – Considering the Wider Community;’ this value is illustrated through the sponsorship and support of local charities.

On Thursday 8th July, Harry visited Truflo Marine with his Mum Georgina. Harry delivered a fantastic powerpoint presentation to a large group of Truflo employees providing information about his condition, his inspiration and fund raising initiative. Harry described how he changed the supplier of his bracelet beads, reducing costs so that more money can be donated to Brain Tumour UK.
