David Izekor, a 23-year-old filmmaker, passed away on November 12, 2025, following a four-year fight with glioblastoma multiforme. Diagnosed at 18 after a stroke, David navigated two brain surgeries and extensive treatments with remarkable perseverance. He channeled his experience into a documentary titled 'One In Two,' capturing his personal journey and that of others with glioblastoma.
His brother, John Izekor, 22, is now fundraising to cover funeral costs and organize a celebration of life. With their mother having passed in 2022, John is managing these responsibilities alone. The GoFundMe campaign has already raised nearly £9,000, providing John with much-needed support during this difficult time.
David's documentary premiered in August 2025, a significant achievement John helped facilitate. The film serves as a testament to David's resilience and passion for filmmaking. John hopes the fundraiser will not only cover expenses but also allow others to learn from David's inspiring life and unwavering spirit.
