Donations Near £66,000 for Liverpool Med Student Pursuing £200,000 German Immunotherapy

A friend’s FaceTime alert led to a glioblastoma-level diagnosis that standard care has not controlled.

Overview

  • Generous readers pushed the JustGiving total from about £58,000 this morning to nearly £66,000, toward an estimated £200,000 needed for treatment and travel.
  • Alex Warwick, 23, is seeking experimental immunotherapy in Germany after tumour regrowth as he nears the end of his NHS treatment plan.
  • His illness first came to light in May when a friend noticed speech problems on a video call, prompting hospital care and an initial stroke diagnosis.
  • Surgeons removed a large portion of a very high‑grade glioma treated as glioblastoma, a permanent shunt was placed, and he received chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
  • Family support and community donations have rallied around him as he completed a master’s degree post‑diagnosis and hopes to return to his medical studies in Liverpool.
