Mark Norman has the details. I'm just like any other typhcal

teenage girl, but I have a twist. This is the moment Charlottd Eades

:04:43.:04:47.

began her video blog on YouTube I've had purple hair, no hahr, long,

:04:48.:04:54.

dark and shining hair, black lips, red lips,

dry, cracked from chemother`py lips. Little did she or her familx know

:05:00.:05:03.

the impact these videos would have. Hundreds of thousands of people

:05:04.:05:07.

watched and listened as she detailed her fight

with a brain tumour. Diagnosed with glioblastoma at 6,

:05:11.:05:13.

Charlotte died three years later. Today, her family launched

:05:14.:05:17.

a charity in her name. The point of the charity

:05:18.:05:22.

is that brain cancer There's only about 1%

of funding that goes into it. Glioblastoma is a grade four,

:05:25.:05:29.

very vicious tumour. Unfortunately, things have taken

:05:30.:05:33.

a turn for the worse. Some of Charlotte's videos `re very

:05:34.:05:40.

hard to watch. The medication I was

:05:41.:05:43.

on isn't working very well. But it's because they watchdd her go

and there is the reason why this happened and Charlotte wantdd

to help more people A lot of research money and research

efforts are being focused on much more common tumours,

such as breast cancer, lung cancer, bowel cancer,

that affect tens of thousands of people and the difficultx

:06:16.:06:17.

with glioblastoma is that it is an incredibly rare tumour

:06:18.:06:20.

and the numbers of patients that develop this each

year is very small. It is with regret that his will be
