Organised by BrainstrustOn 2 - 8 October we will wear grey - the internationally recognised colour for brain tumours - to give visibility to this invisible illness and show our support to the brain tumour community.
Story
Choose Grey. Change Lives.
There are over 60,000 people in the UK living with a brain tumour. 30 more get diagnosed every day. From the most lethal brain tumour, a glioblastoma, to the long-term complications that come with a meningioma, every diagnosis change's someone's life, and the lives of their loved ones.
From 2 – 8 October, we will wear grey - the internationally recognised colour for brain tumours - to give visibility to this invisible illness. People from across the UK come together to wear grey and show their support for people like Georgia*, who are living with a brain tumour.
Each day I put on my brave face. I bury my fears, try to continue as 'normal'. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an employee. I am surrounded by many, yet I feel so alone. I am lost - Georgia
