Brain Tumour Research Verified by JustGiving
RCN 1153487 (England & Wales), SC046840 (Scotland)
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.

Story

Since Wear A Hat Day launched in 2010, supporters taking part have raised more than £2.2 million, enabling scientific breakthroughs at our Centres of Excellence and helping us push governments to invest more in life-saving research.

Whether you favour a fedora, sport a sombrero or pop on a Panama – whatever your style – by wearing a hat and holding a fundraising event, you’ll help bring hope to the one in three people who knows someone affected by a brain tumour.
