We fund long-term, sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours

Story

In December 2020 we were told my husband Greg had a brain tumour, after going for an routine MRI scan because he had weakness on his left side. Greg had his 1st operation, a brain biopsy one week later.

Then Christmas Eve our world was turned up side down, we had the news that it was cancer. Greg was then referred to St. Luke's hospital were we were told on New Years Eve it's a rare tumour. 

Greg had strong high dose chemotherapy and then a stem cell transplant in July 2021. We were over the moon in October 2021, when we were told he is in remission. 

In February 2022 our children were able to return to school after 14 months of shielding (But only school as Greg's immune system is still recovering).

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.
