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.

Many of you know I have been fundraising for brain tumour research since my cousin Hannah was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma over 5 y are ago. She is beating the predictions and is still here but many are not !

Hannah will be canoeing with Gary and I and 6 other lovely people Hannah and I met on our Sahara trek last year.

This is such an important charity to support and we have recently been reminded how important when our group of 8 was reduced and is now 7.
