Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable!
We are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research on behalf of our very close and brave friend Kevin Longdon who has had two brain tumours removed and is still fighting the disease with another round of chemotherapy.
He is so brave and has coped with it all so admirably.
He is an amazing role model and real hero.
