Help create a brighter future for children with brain tumours
Why am I doing this? Because I am crazy, because I was bullied into it by my peers? Probably yes to both, but mainly because I have a passion for life. The small amount of pain that I may feel during training and during the race is absolutely nothing compared to what the brave children with brain tumours endure. If I can help to improve the quality of life for just one child then it is worth every single step of the race!
Researchers and clinicians at the Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre (CBTRC) are at the forefront of leading-edge research. They have helped save the lives of hundreds of children and given a brighter future to many more.
Today, the average time taken to diagnose a child with a brain tumour has halved. 7 out of ten children will now survive a brain tumour - more than every before.
Yet brain tumours remain the biggest cancer-killer of children, receiving less than 1% of the UK's cancer research funding.
Two-thirds of those who do survive are also left with life-long disabilities - a result of the damage caused by the tumour itself and the intensive treatments needed to save their young lives.
With your support, vital research can continue.
