Learn more about George's journey, his incredible strength, and how we're working together to make every moment count.
George Hatt is a 24-year-old Winchester lad, born and bred in Stanmore. Known throughout the community for his infectious laugh and big heart, George is the kind of person who lights up any room he walks into.
Always up for a laugh and wearing his heart on his sleeve, George has touched the lives of so many people in Winchester. His positive attitude and determination have been an inspiration to everyone who knows him.
In November 2023, George began experiencing severe headaches that wouldn't go away. After being put on strong medication, doctors decided to investigate further with an MRI scan in early 2024.
The results were devastating - George had a brain tumour the size of an orange. On Monday 29th April, George underwent surgery to remove the tumour, showing incredible bravery throughout the process.
On the 14th of May, our family received the heartbreaking news that George has been diagnosed with Grade 4 Glioblastoma - an aggressive and incurable brain cancer. Despite this devastating prognosis, George remains incredibly positive and determined.
"As George's big sister, I honestly have learnt so much about my brother in such a short amount of time, and that's probably a weird thing to say as I've known him for 24 years! But I mean I never knew how strong he is, how positive he is and how he will take each day as it comes still laughing with his most infectious girly laugh!"
"For me as his big sister I am not a miracle worker and unfortunately can't cure George, but I can make a difference and raise money for him! We will be raising money for George for his bucket list and The Brain Tumour Charity to raise awareness and support future research."
"The support we have received has truly put my faith back into the world, even though it can be a cruel place on one hand it can be so healing on another."
- Jess, George's Big Sister
