Brain Tumours kill more children and Adults under the age of 40 than any other Cancer - yet despite this, historically only 1% of the national spend on Cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive and fast-growing form of brain cancer. It is the most common type of primary malignant brain tumour in Adults. Research carried out by the charity is currently focusing on using GBM stem cells to help develop unique, patient-specific treatments.

Some of you may know, that my Son's Girlfriends dad, Simon Ashcroft, passed away on the 12th November 2019 from GBM, aged just 53 years. Thanks to The Brain Cancer Research, who funded Simons treatment, Alison (Simons wife) and his daughters Catherine and Ruth had a precious 17 months extra time with him.

I am planning to climb Mount Snowdon in wales on the 11th June followed by completing the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge on 12th July this year to raise money for the charity.

I know times are tough at the moment, due to the Covid pandemic, so I understand if you are unable to donate, but please could you help by sharing my page far and wide.

I am hoping to raise £1300, which, will fund a days research in Simons name and see a plaque placed in one of the research centres.
