Urgent Fundraiser Launched for Paul Gascoigne's Daughter-in-Law

Jaimee Sharp, the 28-year-old partner of Paul Gascoigne's son Mason, has been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour and is urgently fundraising to access a clinical trial in the United States. Sharp, who shares a five-year-old son, Teddy, with Mason, has set up a GoFundMe page to raise £320,000 for the treatment, which she says offers a "glimmer of hope."

According to her GoFundMe bio, Sharp was diagnosed with an IDH1-mutant, CNS WHO grade four astrocytoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. She has undergone major brain surgery to remove as much of the tumour as possible and is currently receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The typical life expectancy for someone with this type of tumour is about five years, she noted.

"More than anything, I desperately want more time with my little boy," Sharp wrote. "Being Teddy's mummy is my whole reason for existence. And I'm not ready to say goodbye."

Fundraising Progress and Family Support

Sharp has stated she has just four weeks to raise the necessary funds to participate in a clinical trial at a hospital in Ohio. As of recent reports, more than £146,000 has been raised, with her sister Brooke revealing in a video that the campaign is halfway to its goal in under a week. The Sun reported that Mason and Jaimee's family launched the fundraiser, aiming for £320,500.

In the video, Brooke expressed gratitude to donors, saying, "Your love and support so far has been incredible, and will be eternally appreciated. Please keep sharing Jaimee's story. To be halfway there already is amazing, but we still have halfway to go!" Sharp replied, "Love you sister."

A Mother's Plea

Sharp's bio reads: "Hi, my name is Jaimee. I'm 28 years old, and a mum to my five-year-old little boy, Teddy. As well as a mum, I am a daughter, a sister, a partner and a friend." She described how her life changed with the diagnosis, and emphasised that without further treatment, the tumour will progress unpredictably. She called the opportunity to join the trial a "realistic chance of completing this trial," and pleaded for support to "fight for more time."

Mason, the son of Paul Gascoigne and his ex-partner Cheryl, has also expressed gratitude for the support received, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the mastheads we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
