This June we are running a timed online fundraising auction for The Brain Tumour Charity - the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours. The sale will include an enticing range of kindly donated lots that include experiece days, works of art, memorabilia and more. All to benefit the excellent work of The Brain Tumour Charity.
Despite 12,000 people being diagnosed every year with a primary brain tumour, survival rates have barely improved in 40 years. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer in children and adults under 40, yet investment in research is low, and there is currently no cure. The Brain Tumour Charity is working faster, and going further, to try and beat this cancer sooner.
£300 could fund
a day of world class
research into brain
tumours
£1,000 could fund the RNA
sequencing required for
a year on one of the paediatric
tumour research projects
£10,000 could fund the lab
consumables for one year on
one of the glioblastoma
research projects
“Receiving my diagnosis, at the age of 35, when my son was one year old, was devastating. Overnight everything had changed. Suddenly I’d gone from being a healthy person in the middle of my life with a new baby, to having incurable cancer with maybe only a year or two left to live. What followed was months of surgery and treatment to try and prolong my life, and although I continue to make the best of each day, my tumour will return and it will kill me. My care has been excellent and new advances in science have helped me fight cancer so far. However, only by funding research into brain tumours can we get closer to a life-saving cure.”
