On this World Cancer Day, I am raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity, which does amazing work but often doesn't receive the same levels of consideration and funding as larger cancer charities.

I have written a poem this year in honour of my mum, who died of a brain tumour in 2002 at the age of 42. Please view my poem on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW_xh5d1fJQ&t=9s

The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, were moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour.We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And were doing it right now. Because we understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait.
