Andi Peel, from Groby, Leicestershire, was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme (GMB) in January 2020.

Ross Bland, 35, who is doing a Walk of Hope at Bradgate Park to raise money for Brain Tumour Research, said the 30-year-old was “like [his] little brother”.

The charity said it was grateful for his support.

‘Devastating’

Mr Peel began getting strong headaches in August 2019.

In January 2020, he had an MRI scan at the Leicester Royal Infirmary, which revealed a mass on his brain.

Mr Bland, a product manager, said: “It was devastating because he’s like my little brother.

“His brain tumour has taken over everything. It’s horrible to watch the way he has declined because of it.”
