I was awkward in conversation and I wasn’t really engaging with people like I usually would.

''I don’t know if it was the drugs I was on, but I just felt so happy because I’m fluent in Italian, and this meant that I hadn’t lost my language skills completely."

Matthew Price, community development manager at Brain Tumour Research said: "We’re really grateful to Matt and his two friends for taking on this challenge as it's only with the support of people like them that we’re able to progress our research into brain tumours and improve the outcome for patients like Matt who are forced to fight this awful disease.
