Last September my life was turned upside down when I started bumping into stuff and crashed my car on the way to work. Less than 2 weeks later I was in hospital recovering after surgery for glioblastoma (a type of cancerous brain tumour). Now, more than 8 months later and after 6 weeks of radiotherapy and 6 months of chemotherapy I’m trying to do my bit to raise some money for brain tumour research.

One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. This disease is indiscriminate; it can affect anyone at any age. 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 since records began in 2002.

Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this. It is the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. Help fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.
