Slater’s battle against brain cancer has a convoy of supporters cheering for a cure

Slater was only 17 months old when he underwent brain surgery to remove a brain tumour that’s left 20 per cent of the cancer behind and inoperable. Three years on he’s helping to find a cure.

Slater who has brain tumour and friend Tamzyn ride in Convoy For The Cure

SLATER  was only 17 months old when he underwent brain surgery to remove a tumour that’s left 20 per cent of the cancer behind and inoperable.

Almost three years on this little battler has his very own truck in the Convoy For The Cure, with personalised plates to match thanks to family friends.

Laura Bambury was in a mum’s group with Slater’s mum and felt compelled to enter the fundraiser.

“It made me realise that it could be any of us,” Ms Bambury said.

“Slater was too unwell to make the first year so we got a ‘Slater Bug’ sign made to put on the truck,

“After the day we just left it there so now he travels everywhere with us.”

Slater and his best friend Tamzyn have made the Convoy For The Cure their special event to catch up at since Slater’s family relocated to Brisbane for treatment.

Trucks will roll into town on May 26 to drive the streets and sound the horn for cancer awareness.

All money raised from the event will go to A Cure Starts now and be used for cancer research.
