Inspired by the loss of his daughter to brain cancer, a Canadian father has raised more than C$1.6 million for research and received London's first-ever Order of London award

Losing his 33-year-old daughter Allison to brain cancer changed Wayne Dunn's life in ways he never imagined. What began as a family's heartbreaking loss gradually became a mission to help others facing the same disease. The London, Ontario, philanthropist launched the Dunn with Cancer Run in Allison's memory, transforming personal grief into a fundraising campaign that has generated more than C$1.6 million for brain cancer research. His decades of service to charities, food banks and children's organisations have now earned him another distinction as the first recipient of the City of London's newly created Order of London, recognising his lifelong commitment to community service.
