Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.

Story

Following the devastating diagnosis of an aggressive brain tumour, friends and family of Glenn Pearce are hoping to raise even more money for 2 amazing charities; Brain Tumour Research and Maggies. Maggies supports individuals and their families following a cancer diagnosis. Additionally, Brain Tumour Research funds research into cures for brain tumours - the biggest cancer killer of under 40s.

Glenn, a 53 year old father of 3 wonderful children sadly lost his battle with cancer in December 2025. He was a much loved and hugely popular pillar of the local community and is deeply missed. With the support of his family, friends and local services he he was able to spend his remaining months at home. Maggies has provided invaluable emotional support for Glenn’s family during his illness and since his death and; following last years fundraising success, we wish to continue to raise funds for these 2 amazing charities.

In keeping with Glenn’s love of walking and the outdoors, we are looking for sponsorship in our mission to walk the Edinburgh 7 hills; a walk of approximately 18miles to include the 7 hills that punctuate the city. We would be extremely grateful for your donations. Please follow the link on this page. Every little helps.
