Elly Monaghan's son is taking part in a challenge to raise money and awareness of glioblastomas.
The son of a Somerset woman who appeared as if "she was drunk" but later died of a brain tumour is raising awareness of the disease.
"I asked if Dad was there and, after Mum passed the phone to him, I asked, jokingly, if she had been drinking, to which he said no," said Mr Monaghan. "We knew something wasn't right." "We felt upset and frustrated," said Mr Monaghan. "Every question we asked the medical team seemed to come back with the same disappointing response."
"She ended up in a wheelchair, which stopped her doing the things that she liked doing. That was the point at which we realised that she was ill and it wasn't going well," he added.Pete Monaghan is taking part in the 100 a Day Your Way challenge during November in memory of his mother and to raise money for Brain Tumour Research
