Welcome to the Robin Menary Foundation for Brain Tumour Research
Robin was a strong, healthy, happy and very sporty 36 year old, looking forward to the birth
of much longed for twins, when, without warning, he was diagnosed with a Grade 4 Glioblastoma brain
tumour, one of the deadliest forms of cancer. Only 17 months later, on 24th August 2011, Robin died
aged just 38.
Cancer did not define Robin, but it brought to the fore everything that was already there – courage,
dignity, strength, kindness and determination. Although he was taken from us long before his time, we
know that he has influenced everyone who has ever known him. He was a special human being and he will
live on in every one of us.
It was always Robin’s intention to raise funds for brain tumour research when he was well again and
we are determined to do this in his memory. It is this which keeps us strong despite the unbearable
grief, and it is our dearest wish that someday someone diagnosed with this type of tumour will be told
they can be cured.
