Scots boy who battled rare cancer raises £10k for charity with help from The Proclaimers

A Scots boy who survived a rare brain tumour has raised over £10,000 for two charities - with help from The Proclaimers. Kieran and his mum Senga hosted the Warrior's Ball back in September 2022 after his three-year long cancer battle.

Inspired by Kieran's story, Scottish duo The Proclaimers donated £3,000 towards the event, with Ayrshire business Nelson Track Solutions contributing a further £2,000. All the money raised was split equally between Callum's Cabin and Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, both of which supported Kieran during his time in hospital.

The Kilwinning youngster was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma after doctors found five tumours on his brain back in March 2018. The then 12-year-old was taken for surgery before undergoing an intense course of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
