Grade 4 brain tumour
In October 2024, Arlo Lambie started suffering minor headaches, but this quickly spiralled into hydrocephalus, leading to urgent neurosurgery and a diagnosis of a rare type of grade 4 brain tumour.
Arlo’s story touched the lives of many Islanders and his positive attitude inspired all ages.
£110,000 raised
After Arlo completed treatment at Southampton Hospital, a fundraising appeal was launched to support treatment not provided on the NHS. Almost £110,000 was raised on the Isle of Wight to secure clinical and emotional treatment.
His family say that funds raised in Arlo’s name will support causes close to his heart.
Our sincerest thoughts are with Arlo’s family and friends.
