A man who recently became a father has received devastating news that he may not witness his daughter’s upbringing as doctors have informed him that he has a limited time left. Craig Dunn, aged 35, had undergone a procedure to eliminate a brain tumor last year and was in the process of planning his wedding when he learned about the return of the cancer, which has now spread to his spine. Despite no prior symptoms, doctors have given him a prognosis of up to one year to live.
Expressing his anguish, Craig described the news as mentally challenging and unexpected, especially given his efforts to lead a normal life for his daughter. He was initially diagnosed with Medulloblastoma, a rare brain tumor, in May 2025, which was treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. His hopes were high when he achieved remission following the treatment.
Craig, who had been monitoring his health with regular check-ups, was shocked by the sudden recurrence of the tumor without any warning signs. The aggressive nature of the cancer has led doctors to deliver the grim prognosis, leaving him with limited time.
In a bid to make the most of his remaining days, Craig has rescheduled his wedding to Nabela for July 10 at the local registry office and is focused on creating lasting memories for his daughter. He expressed his desire to document special moments for his daughter to cherish in the future, acknowledging the pain of not being able to engage with her as she grows up.
A fundraising campaign has been launched to support Craig and his family, with an overwhelming response from donors raising over £68,000 in just three days. Seeking information on potential treatments for Medulloblastoma in adults, Craig remains hopeful and determined to fight for his daughter’s sake.
With limited research and treatment options available for this type of cancer in adults, Craig’s battle against the disease is challenging. Those interested in supporting Craig and his family or learning more about his journey can visit the GoFundMe page for further details.
