My Story
Hi, When i signed up to the marathon ballot i didnt think i would get in, however its been on the bucket list for quite sometime so i thought why not enter :) fast forward a few months and i got in. I am now over the shock and the intial fear of where to start so its time that i start some fundraising!
Last year we lost a close family friend to a brain tumour 7 weeks after her symptoms became obvious and before any treatment could be begin. I am raising funds for Brain Tumour Research in her memory.
Thank you for any donation you can make!
A little about the Charity:
To increase the UK investment in brain tumour research
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet historically 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.
Our values
Our values underpin our vision of finding a cure, representing our guiding philosophy and how we go about delivering our mission.
The courage to accomplish inspiring goals.
The team at Brain Tumour Research is focused on finding a cure for brain tumours. Together we are driven to accomplish ambitious goals in pursuit of this vision, from driving engagement and building compelling campaigns; to reaching major lobbying milestones and achieving research breakthroughs. As the only national charity dedicated to sustainable research into brain tumours, we are clear-sighted and disciplined. Agile, energetic and courageous, we continually demand better outcomes for patients and their families.
Working together to achieve results.
Brain Tumour Research is passionately committed to raising both awareness and funding for research. Embracing the diverse experiences of our volunteers, supporters, member charities, research centres and corporate partners, we value our relationships with everyone in the brain tumour community, this devastating disease has affected our lives.
