  • Stones' surgeon finds satisfaction in NZ (5:51)

Would you let someone who's been on tour with The Rolling Stones drill into your brain?

Probably not as a matter of course but when the Stones' buddy is Andrew Law, the top brain surgeon who saved Keith Richards' life and you are a teenager with an supposedly inoperable tumour, the answer is yes.

Simon Gillingham made that call and it was a life saver.

Now he and Dr Law are promoting a fundraiser to help Starship cater for other sick kids.
