Campaign launched to raise money for Delays frontman’s cancer treatment
Greg Gilbert, singer and guitarist for the band Delays has been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Friends, family and fans have set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money for his treatment. Greg is genetically incompatible with the only free immunotherapy drug available on the NHS. There are other drugs that would match his gene profile, most notably Avastin for advanced bowel cancers, but it is currently not funded by the NHS.
Through extensive research and correspondence with specialist clinics in the UK and abroad, Greg’s family have discovered new and groundbreaking treatments. These are targeted treatments such as stereotactic radiotherapy, microwave ablation and personalised immunotherapy. These have had astounding results on others that share the same prognosis as the musician.
Greg and his family are hoping to raise £100k for help pay for his treatment. In just two days, over £20,000 has already been raised by friends, family and fans.
