A CONCERT will be held at the Hard Rock Cafe in Glasgow in memory of a dad-of-two who died from a brain tumour.
The event in November is being held to raise money for Brain Tumour Research after Craig Johnston, 34, from Newton Aycliffe in County Durham, died from a glioblastoma brain tumour in November last year. Craig's dad Alan, who is from Glasgow, first realised something was wrong in July 2018 when Craig's wife Jill phoned him in the early hours of the morning.Craig and his family [Brain Tumour Scotland]
The 63-year-old said:"Jill said that Craig was having a seizure while he was sleeping so I drove straight over to their house."We had an MRI scan which revealed two little marks on his brain."Three weeks later, Craig, dad to four-year-old Milly and 10-year-old Ally, had surgery at The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough."He was a strong, fit lad, and he looked fine."The news absolutely floored Craig, and we were all stunned, we just felt total despair.
Despite this, Craig then took part in an ironman event in Bolton in July 2021 and raised more than £3500 for Brain Tumour Research.In September, Craig started to have seizures and he was suffering from headaches which were increasing in severity, and an MRI scan revealed another regrowth so he needed to have a third operation to remove the tumour.
