CHARLIE White was three when he died peacefully on New Year's Eve - nine months after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Sadly, it was was one of the rarest and most aggressive of tumours, but Charlie's death will now help others suffering from the same terrible illness.

His mother - Abba White who lives in Bordon and helped by friend and neighbour Russell Baker - is planning to raise awareness of brain tumours which kill more children and young adults than any other cancer.

She also wants to raise funds for the Brain Tumour Research unit at the University of Portsmouth in the hope that a cure can be found for all tumours - even the rare and aggressive ones that Charlie suffered from.
