Brain tumours account for 40% of cancer deaths in children- now surpassing lymphoblastic leukaemia |

Brain tumours are also the leading cause of death in males aged 20-29 |
Despite these shocking facts funding for research into brain tumours is negligble. There's a great need for better understanding of what causes them, how the brain reacts to them and how they behave and most importantly a need for better and more effective treatments.
A few years ago prostate and testicular cancer suffered from the same lack of awareness and funding. With increased resources, support and awareness, treatment success rates are constantly improving. Its now vital that the same pioneering and classleading work is committed to stamping out brain tumours.
We started this charity because there seemed to have been so little progress in over 25 years for the treatment of brain tumours.
We are committed to raising awareness of brain tumours, especially in young people, but brain tumours can affect anyone at any age so any research that we can help support or fund will benefit everyone.
