Episode Synopsis

When Alex - also known as the performer Syren - was diagnosed with a rare paediatric brain tumour called DLGNT at the age of 20, his family found that there were limited treatment options. His mum, Katie, did her own research into how to best help Alex and found  out about the Everest Centre.  In February 2024, His dad Martin and three of his friends took on the Everest in the Alps challenge to raise £500,000 to go towards research into paediatric brain tumours.You can follow Alex AKA Syren on Spotify here Find out more about The Everest Centre here Find out more about the Everest In The Alps Challenge Martin is doing here and follow Team Syren on Instagram @everestinthealpssyren You can donate using the links below at: https://www.justgiving.com/team/Syren Better Safe Than TumourIf you or someone you know needs a listening ear, you can contact our Support Team by calling 0808 800 0004 or by emailing [email protected] For general information about the podcast, you can email [email protected]
