Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 in the UK.

Around 13,000 people are diagnosed each year with a primary brain tumour, including 900 children and young people.

In February 2025 we were given the devastating news that one of our children had a brain tumour. He underwent emergency surgery and we are now on the long road to recovery.

Whilst we are still navigating this situation, it has been evident how vitally important funding is for brain tumour research, the treatments and the ongoing support.

Brain tumour research receives a disproportionately small share of national cancer research funding, consistently representing about 1% of the total! With minimal funding there’s no chance for better treatments or even cures for the future.

Join us in stepping out to raise money to fund life-saving research and bring much-needed hope to brain tumour patients and their families, including my own.
