Taylan Kurtul

This is Taylan.

Our beautiful, bright and energetic little boy who had so much love for his family and friends. He was always full of life and made everyone laugh.

On 30th May 2023 our lives were shattered. Taylan was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour called Medulloblastoma at the age of 5.

He started to show some concerning symptoms just 9 days before.

Tay, bravely underwent surgery and extremely harsh treatment on his little body, but devastatingly lost his life 8 months later on 9th February 2024.

He was only 6 years old.

Since losing Tay, our only focus now is to help raise awareness for Brain tumour research. They are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer.. yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this monstrous disease. This is shocking and unacceptable.

Please help us fight for a cure in memory of our courageous warrior, Tay, who touched thousands of hearts , and taught us the true meaning of love.
