Simon's Drive
Simon Penwright was diagnosed with a multifocal glioblastoma (GBM) in January 2023 and passed away in November the same year, despite surgery and then radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. He and Emily were together eight years and had a blended family of four daughters between them.
This group is the culmination of fundraising efforts of their family and friends; instigated by Emily’s daughters, all who were shocked by the news of the severity of Simon’s tumour and its bleak survival prognosis.
Incredibly, before even Simon’s Drive was launched, around £48,000 had been raised in Simon’s name. Now the Fundraising Group is giving Team Penwright a purpose to carry on as they help to bring hope to other families affected by the devastating disease going forward.
