I am raising money for Brain Research Trust in memory of not just a friend, but a flat mate, who sadly passed away suddenly on March 6th 2023 from an undetected brain tumour. In my first year of University, myself, 4 girls (Charlotte, Aurelia, Megan and Sophie), and Louie all moved into our flat and we were fortunate enough to get along right away. We did what any other group of 18 year olds would do when moving out of your home town, we partied, we spoke about our lives and where we came from, and we just sat in each others presence, sometimes not talking because we did not need to. We were close. On Friday 3rd March 2023, there was just myself, my partner at the time, Louie and his girlfriend at the time in the flat as it was reading week (half term) so everyone else were in their home towns. Everything was normal, and we spoke about our days before going to bed. However, just after midnight Louie&#x27;s girlfriend started shouting my name asking for help and saying that &#x27;Louie looked unwell&#x27;. When entering his room to see him seizing and throwing up, I immediately knew that something was not quite right, so I rang an ambulance, to which we were told there would be a two hour wait. So, instead, his girlfriend, myself, my partner, and a friend of Louie&#x27;s (Harvie) who lived a few doors down, all carried him down the stairs to place him into his girlfriends car. This was the last time I saw him. By this point it was 2am in the morning, I went back into his room, made his bed and cleaned his sick from the floor, not realising he would not be returning to this room. I messaged him over the weekend expecting a reply and that maybe he was just very ill, but I never received a message back. Unfortunately, at around 6pm on Monday 6th March 2023, I received a message from his girlfriend saying that he had an undected brain tumour and had passed away. I delivered the news to the rest of my flatmates, and as you can imagine, we were all absolutely devastated. Louie played such an important part in our dynamic, and we truly miss him everyday. Even to this day, we cannot believe he is gone, what we would do for one last conversation or hug. I would never want anyone else to go through his friends and family went through, so this is why I am raising money for this charity. Anything is grately appreciated, or any money to a similar charity. Thank you.
