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

I’m running the Edinburgh Marathon on May 25th to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research. Many of you may know that my brother Rudi tragically passed away from a brain tumour in January last year.

Dad’s interview on STV News

After completing two half marathons for charity, I’m ready to take on the challenge of a full marathon. To do this, I need your support to raise a minimum of £500—but I know we can go even further. Every donation, share, or bit of encouragement helps.

Brain tumours are the biggest killer of children and adults under 40 out of all cancers, yet only 1% of the national cancer research budget is allocated to tackling this devastating disease. This needs to change.

Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity funding long-term, sustainable research into this area in the UK. By supporting them, we’re not just funding research—we’re funding hope. Let’s make a difference together

Please donate and help us find a cure. Thank you!
