Charlie’s Story
This is a story about a wonderful boy named Charlie Ilsley from Reading in the UK.
In 2015 at the age of 8, Charlie was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a brain tumor.
For the five years that followed, Charlie battled courageously against cancer before sadly passing away at the age of 13 on the 12th of December 2020.
In his short life, Charlie’s smiles, courage, and love touched everyone that knew him. Enduring countless operations and numerous stays in a hospital that included treatment at a specialist centre in Mexico,
Charlie was determined to stay happy. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family, friends, and his dogs, Eric and Ernie.

Charlie was determined to stay happy. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family, friends, and his dogs, Eric and Ernie.
Like most boys, Charlie enjoyed playing games on his PS4, and had a sense of adventure.
Although he was seriously ill, he kept on fighting like a superhero. Shortly before he passed away, he got to experience many magical moments. Highlights include horse riding in Mexico, meeting a dolphin, visiting a dog rescue centre (he truly loved dogs), and being invited into the cockpit of an aeroplane.
In Honour of this Brave Young Man
We have created Charlie’s Island. It’s a fun retro-style video game that we think Charlie would have enjoyed, and it’s a tribute to his determined but fun-loving spirit.
