The Amazing Snakeheads' Dale Barclay launches campaign to fund brain cancer treatment

The Amazing Snakeheads, And Yet It Moves, and former Fat White Family member Dale Barclay has launched a heartfelt GoFundMe campaign to help with the costs of tackling his brain cancer.

The campaign reveals that Barclay was diagnosed in December 2017, and has "grade 4 Glioblastoma brain cancer".

After enduring craniotomy, the tumour was initially reduced by 90%. The Amazing Snakeheads vocalist then went on to do six weeks of radiotherapy, followed by six months of trials and chemotherapy.

Barclay details, "The cancer has returned. The fight continues with the power to face it raging in me."

Fellow musicians and friends have been supporting Barclay on socials.

We had the pleasure of touring with The Amazing Snakeheads a few years ago. Dale and the others made us very welcome. Really saddened to read this. Give all you can. #dalebarclay #theamazingsnakeheads https://t.co/eBER72SG10

Reaching out to his fans and the public to help with medical costs, Barclay states, "The NHS have been stellar, true heroes - too many to mention. They have done everything in their power for me, but my treatment from here on out is going to cost money. I need specialist care. I am officially a customer. This is the reality. "

If you can donate, please do it. We are rooting for you Dale. https://t.co/jgq0e6GvNj

The musician has set a goal of £40,000, and has just passed the first quarter mark.
