Story

Choose Grey. Change Lives.

There are over 60,000 people in the UK living with a brain tumour. 30 more get diagnosed every day. From the most lethal brain tumour, a glioblastoma, to the long-term complications that come with a meningioma, every diagnosis change's someone's life, and the lives of their loved ones.

From 2 – 8 October, we will wear grey - the internationally recognised colour for brain tumours - to give visibility to this invisible illness. People from across the UK come together to wear grey and show their support for people like Georgia*, who are living with a brain tumour.

Each day I put on my brave face. I bury my fears, try to continue as 'normal'. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, an employee. I am surrounded by many, yet I feel so alone. I am lost - Georgia

This year, it's never been easier to get involved. No matter who or where you are, you can take part in Wear Grey 2023 in three easy steps:

BUY GREY: Get yourself some Wear Grey merch! We've got tees, beanies, face masks, wristbands, bracelets and more to choose from in our online shop

SHARE GREY: Share a photo of you in your grey gear with #weargrey and donate to help us raise funds to support the brain tumour community.
