The 26th of January is always a poignant day for us at Brain Tumour Support, being the date that Paul Mitchell died from a grade 4 glioblastoma, aged just 37.

Paul was the inspiration behind the two decades of work to which our charity, founded and led by his wife Tina Mitchell Skinner, has been dedicated.

So today, in tribute, we would like to share an affectionate interview with Tina on BBC Radio Bristol last year – talking very personally about Paul and passionately about the importance of support for anyone facing the impact of a brain tumour diagnosis.

In remembering Paul Mitchell, we are thinking also of so many families tragically affected by this devastating disease.

Support is here for you. We are here for you.
