Anthony Hard Memorial
Fundraising for Brain Tumour Research
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On November 27th 2015 our world changed forever when my brother Anthony died of an incurable brain tumour, at the age of 36. Every year I organise a golf day in his memory and encourage friends, family and anyone who knew Ant to come and get involved in a fun, lighthearted day, where the standard of golf is questionable but everyone leaves with a smile on their face. As well as remembering Ant, we try to raise as much money as we can for Brain Tumour Research and any donations here can go a really long way to help find a cure for this cruel disease.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and donating as every little helps and can go a long way.

Key statistics on brain tumours:
• Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age
• Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer
• Historically, just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to brain tumours
• In the UK, 16,000 people each year are diagnosed with a brain tumour
• Brain tumours kill more children than leukaemia
• Brain tumours kill more men under 70 than prostate cancer
• Brain tumours kill more women under 35 than breast cancer
• Less than 12% of those diagnosed with a brain tumour survive beyond five years compared with an average of 50% across all cancers
