How your support helps
One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. This disease is indiscriminate and can affect anyone at any age. What’s more, brain tumours continue to kill more adults and children under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet, to date, just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.
You can help us change the story. By taking part in Walk of Hope, you will support our influential campaigning to call on governments and larger cancer charities to invest more in research into brain tumours. The money you raise will also help fund vital research at our Centres of Excellence where scientists are striving to uncover new knowledge and make breakthroughs to improve treatments and, ultimately, find a cure.
Raise £137 and you could support a morning of experiments that provide the foundations to start clinical trials for paediatric high-grade gliomas
Raise £500 and you could supply the essential lab materials that make a day of vital brain tumour research possible
Raise £1,000 and you could fund a week of gene sequencing to identify DNA changes that may guide future treatments
Raise £2,740 and you could fund a day of research, sustaining long-term and potentially life-saving research at one of our Research Centres of Excellence, offering new hope to the thousands diagnosed and living with this devastating disease.
