Brain Tumour Research is the leading voice of the brain tumour community and focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. We are campaigning to increase the national investment in research to £35 million per year and funding sustainable Centres of Excellence across the UK.

Story

When he was 19 years old my Godson, Ned (Hilton), had a tumour removed from his brain, two ops within eight days of each other. He completed a six week course of intensive radiotherapy, which was followed by an equally intensive course of Chemo which lasted for 36 weeks. 

His surgery severed the nerves to half of his facial muscles. Last year he underwent further surgery to repair those nerve endings - quite remarkable. He is slowly regaining control of his face and we are seeing the return of his wonderful smile.

It's quite inspirational watching him stoically cope with all the various complications. He's had to miss out of nearly two full years of Uni and has been deeply frustrated by physical and mental limitations placed upon him. He is a truly amazing young man.
