Glioblastoma affects approximately 2,200 people annually in the UK, with standard five-year survival rates remaining below 10 percent despite advances in medical research. Traditional treatments, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy, show limited effectiveness against this particular cancer type, prompting patients to explore specialized private alternatives.
The fundraising campaign highlights the financial barriers patients face when seeking experimental or personalized treatments. Private glioblastoma therapies can cost between £50,000 and £150,000, placing them beyond reach for most families affected by this diagnosis.
Pratapaviciene met Raimondas eight years ago, and the couple had been planning their future together when the diagnosis changed their circumstances. The campaign describes their relationship as finding happiness after previous difficult experiences, emphasizing the impact of the medical situation.
"Raimondas is full of life, dreams, and love - and he's not ready to give up. Neither am I," Pratapaviciene stated in the campaign description, expressing determination to pursue available treatment options.
The GoFundMe platform has become a common resource for medical fundraising, particularly for treatments not covered by public health services. Cancer-related campaigns represent a significant portion of medical fundraising efforts, reflecting gaps between available treatments and public funding coverage.
Specialized glioblastoma treatments may include immunotherapy, targeted drug combinations, or participation in clinical trials at private facilities. These approaches target specific genetic markers or biological pathways associated with individual cancer cases.
The campaign has raised £6,850 from 168 donations since its launch in April 2025, representing 7% of the target amount. Donations have ranged from £5 to £100, demonstrating community support for the fundraising effort.
