At Make William Well we campaign for more research into childhood cancers, in particular the effects of Cannabinoids (found in the cannabis plant) and the Ketogenic Diet both of which, we believe, may have played an important part in our son William’s brain tumour reduction.

We want others to have similar results and for the stigma surrounding cannabinoids, in particular, to be dissipated.  We believe this needs to be achieved using irrefutable scientific research methods.

In 2017 we proposed and helped fund a £100,000 research project at Nottingham University’s Children’s Brain Tumours Research Centre into cannabidiol, a cannabinoid more commonly known as CBD, and it’s effects on childhood brain tumours – click here for further information.

In 2019 we teamed up with The Brain Tumour Charity and set up a supporter group with them to help fund research into brain tumours.

A note on purpose and limits

Make William Well was created by parents, not clinicians. The content on this site reflects our family’s experience and the questions it raised for us, not medical advice.

Childhood cancers are complex and unpredictable. While our son has continued to have stable scans, we do not know why, and we do not claim that any specific treatment, diet, or supplement is responsible.

Our aim has always been to encourage properly funded, clinician-led research into under-explored areas, so families are not left with unanswered questions. Any medical decisions should always be made with a child’s specialist care team.
