We fund long-term, sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours

Story

Between now and summer 2021 I will be completing a walk of 874 miles - the distance from Land's End to John O'Groats. At the age of 86 years young, this is no mean feat! I am walking in the company of my beautiful dog Luna.

I am doing this 'virtual challenge' (I will be walking locally) to raise money for Brain Tumour Research. Two members of my family are currently receiving treatment for this terrible illness. 

Please support me by making a donation to Brain Tumour Research.

About Brain Tumour Research:

'Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer... yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this.

We are building a network of experts in sustainable research at dedicated Centres of Excellence whilst influencing the Government and larger cancer charities to invest more nationally.

We are the only national charity in the UK that is dedicated to raising funds for continuous and sustainable scientific research into brain tumours and we are a leading voice calling for greater support and action for research into what scientists are calling the last battleground against cancer.'
