Story
Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm taking part in Wear A Hat Day on Friday 25th March during Brain Tumour Awareness Month.
I am raising money and awareness as my fantastic brother in law Richard was diagnosed with a stage 4 GMB tumour in December. He is an absolute inspiration and is putting every ounce of positivity and strength he has in getting through the treatment he is currently receiving.
£2740 is what it costs to run a treatment centre for 1 day so to reach this target would be amazing.
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this.We are the only national charity in the UK focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours through campaigning to increase the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK.
