Blue Skye Thinking

James Clifford Campling Trust

Skye Hall was four years old when he was diagnosed with a grade 4 medulloblastoma brain tumour. Despite surgery and a gruelling treatment regime called the Milan protocol (now withdrawn from use in the UK due to toxic side-effects), Skye developed neurotoxicity and tragically died less than a year later.

James Campling was 29 when he passed away from a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) brain tumour in 2018. He was an aeromedical nurse in the Royal Air Force and an avid traveller who didn’t let his diagnosis hold him back.

His family set up Blue Skye Thinking to support research into childhood brain tumours and give all children diagnosed a better quality of life and improved chance of survival.

The James Clifford Campling Trust was set up by family and friends to honour his legacy. The Trust aims to: provide funding of up to £2,000 to adults with a life-changing condition to help them reach their life goals; set up a retreat to support people with life-limiting illnesses and their families; and fund research into GBMs.
