Brain Tumour Research is the leading voice of the brain tumour community and focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. We are campaigning to increase the national investment in research to £35 million per year and funding sustainable Centres of Excellence across the UK.

Story

On 23rd March we are running the London
Marathon in aid of Brain Tumour Research.

We are running for BTR and dedicating
our efforts in memory of Ellie’s dear cousin Edward who died in January 2016 leaving
wife Alex, Isabelle now 11 and Nina aged 8, four siblings, his mum and dad,
aunt, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, in-laws and many many friends.

Edward was an extremely funny, quick witted,
smart and active person who touched many. He too ran the London Marathon which makes
our efforts more poignant.

Another person in our thoughts will
be our friend Simon Turton who sadly died in 2011 at the age of 36 leaving his
little daughter Livy and his close knit family.

Currently research into brain tumours
receives less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research, despite more
children and adults under 40 dying of a brain tumour than any other
cancer. 

Every donation made will be greatly appreciated.
