I heard the news of Bronagh Wilson’s death last Wednesday with great sadness. In September 2009, at the age of 22, she was diagnosed with an inoperable grade 4 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumour – a particularly aggressive and inoperable form of the disease. Her family and friends launched a fund raising campaign to raise money for additional treatment beyond what she was receiving through the NHS. I met Bronagh the following year and was asked to speak at an event for her in the Hilton Hotel in April 2010. Last week Bronagh lost her battle against her illness but her family and friends are left with the memory of a heroic, gutsy young woman who never gave up and who fought her illness every day with fortitude and determination. I want to extend my deepest condolences to her husband Conor, their two children Conor and Daniel, her parents Gerry and Loretta Wilson and her sister Kristina and brother Conor , along with all of her other family members and friend
