Brain Tumour Research and Support are a Leeds-based charity (http://www.btrs.org.uk/Home) that raises money to fund research into, and help support sufferers of, brain cancer.

Each year BTRS holds a Christmas Party, allowing children and families affected by a brain tumour to have an afternoon of fun, food and games. As part of the event, Santa comes with his sack full of presents to give to the children, making the afternoon extra special.

I am setting up this fund, as a brain tumour research scientist that has benefitted from the money raised by BTRS, and more importantly as a mum of two, to collect money to buy presents for this party. BTRS need new, unwrapped gifts for both girls and boys aged between one and 13 years old. Whatever I have collected by 24th Nov will be spent buying suitable gifts.

Merry Christmas
