Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust funds scientific and clinical research into childhood and adult brain tumours, and offers support and information to patients and their carers. We have been working to improve understanding, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours since the charity was set up in 1996 by Samantha's parents, Neil and Angela Dickson. We now spend around £1.3 million per year on brain tumour research and support, making us the largest brain tumour charity in the UK.

Story

A few years ago, our friend Sarah Kitchener was diagnosed with a brain tumour. There is currently no cure and Sarah has been given a life expectancy of around 10 years, unless research produces better treatments for the condition.

The SDBTT Astro Fund are the only charity in the world who raise money for Sarah's type of tumour. 

Last year Julia and myself were all set to do the Three Peaks challenge.  Unfortunately a number of unfortunate events, including my glandular fever meant that this never happened.

Well, you will be glad to know we have set up another challenge, walking the whole length of the Kennet and Avon canal in three days.  Are we mad.  Yes, that's from Bristol to Reading a total of 87 miles!!  We have set this up starting 13th September and finishing on the 15th.

Please sponsor our self induced torture and help us raise money for Sarah's charity.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust (Astro Fund) will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

If you wish to sponsor us and have any problems donating online, please contact Julia or Nigel directly and we will arrange to collect the money by other means (juliapike@hotmail.com or priestley_nigel@hotmail.com).

Please help Sarah to look forward to a long and happy future by sponsoring us now! Thank you so much for your support!
