My fiancé and soon to be wife, Hayley, has a glioblastoma and has been living with it since diagnosis in 2021. However it took over 2 years of multiple doctors, A&E trips and other hospital appointments to get a diagnosis. She started showing stroke symptoms but A&E staff simply told her she was stressed and sent her home 4 times. Had these staff been aware of the symptoms of brain tumours, then perhaps she could have a got a much quicker diagnosis and started treatment much earlier.

Sadly we hear far too many stories of people with similar experiences getting diagnosed and every day makes a difference, and could save a life.

Brain tumours are the biggest killer of people under 40, yet they receive barely any cancer funding (<1%) and that needs to change. The Brain Tumour Charity have been fighting this uphill battle for years, and they need all the support they can get to make a difference to people affected by tumours, and start saving more lives.

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, we're moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour.We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And we're doing it right now. Because we understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait.
