Brain Tumour Research is the leading voice of the brain tumour community and focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. We are campaigning to increase the national investment in research to at least £45 million a year and funding sustainable Centres of Excellence across the UK.

Story

In September James and I will be taking on both the Great North Run and the Robin Hood Half Marathon 2 weeks later, fundraising in memory of our much loved friend Ian.

16th July 2026 marked 2 years since we lost Ian, following his Glioblastoma diagnosis 18 months before. Claire, Ian and the girls are so very special to us and we want to continue Ian's legacy by raising much needed funds and awareness for Brain Tumour Research. Any contributions are very gratefully received.

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.
