You don’t meet people by accident.
They are meant to cross
your path for a reason.
Remember:
you never do the walk alone.

Heads Up Fund
Twelve years ago, I lost my son Luka, after an unfair battle with a brain tumour.
For four years, he faced his illness with a strength that continues to inspire me every single day.
In his memory, I created the ‘Heads Up’ Fund — a way to honour his legacy
by supporting the scientific fight against brain tumours.
Through this fund, we hope to provide financial resources
to advance research and bring hope to families facing similar battles.

Fund for Brain Tumour Research
Heads Up represents hope and resilience, supporting groundbreaking research,
for instance into ‘dose painting’ and ‘motility trapping’ — innovative techniques
to improve the treatment of brain tumours in children and adults.
