Hello :-)
Thank you for visiting my Shine fundraising page in support of brain cancer research. It means a lot to have your support.
Sponsor me what ever you can– it’s quick, easy and totally secure.
I am doing this 13 mile walk not only as a personal challenge, but to raise money for people just like me. To raise awareness of all the different types of tumours and how complex brain tumours can be.
Some brain tumours can not be operated on or even treated. Many people have to live with the knowledge that they have a brain tumour and nothing can be done and no prognosis given. The fact is that many young families just like mine have to live with this everyday "knowing" but not knowing when.
Brain tumour research is majorly under funded and that is why I am being brave and just putting on my walking shoes.
Read on as Cancer Research explains Brain Tumours and how many people it effects each year.....
Every year around 9,100 people in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour. But they can sometimes be hard to treat and around 4,900 people lose their life to the disease every year. The good news is that, in children, brain tumour survival has almost doubled since the late 1960’s. But unfortunately less progress has been seen in adults. Cancer Research UK is a major funder of brain tumour research in the UK and we want to see a day when this disease is cured.
Amazing people like you help support Cancer Research UK’s research into new treatments for brain tumours. By sponsoring me you can help more people survive brain cancer.
Every pound you donate really does make a difference towards the work into diagnosing and treating brain tumours – so please sponsor me now!
Gift Aid it!
If you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the Gift Aid box when donating as this will increase your donation by at least 25% at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support.
Let’s beat cancer sooner.
