Let me introduce myself. My name is Areesha, I am a wife and mother of a three-year-old. Whilst at work at Shaltons Hairdressers I was taken ill in March 2021. To my horror and dismay of all my family I was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Sadly this form of cancer is one of the most under-resourced and least researched cancers. It is very hard to treat. And little progress has been made in the past 10 years. The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, they are moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. They are set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change!
