Frank Bruno's Plea: Help Boy's Final Wishes
10 Feb
Summary
- Frank Bruno urged fans to support a 10-year-old boy with terminal cancer.
- Fundraising efforts significantly surpassed the family's £15,500 target.
- Stanley has months to live after treatment cessation; his bucket list needs funding.

Former world heavyweight champion Frank Bruno has issued an urgent plea to his supporters to back a fundraising campaign for 10-year-old Stanley Batten, who is battling terminal brain cancer. Stanley was first diagnosed at age six, and despite ongoing treatment, his family recently received the devastating news that further medical intervention is not possible.
With only months left to live, Stanley's family aims to fulfill his bucket list and ensure his birthday on March 1 is special, including a request for numerous birthday cards. Bruno shared this call to action online, encouraging fans to send cards and contribute to Stanley's wish list. The response has been extraordinary, with the fundraising total rapidly climbing past the initial £15,500 goal to over £18,000.
Stanley's mother, Kirsty Bramble, expressed profound gratitude, stating the funds will enable the family to create significant memories with their son. She highlighted the overwhelming support received since Tuesday, noting that even Stanley's palliative care team was moved by the generosity. The donations will allow Stanley to live his best possible life, given the circumstances.
