Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and young adults under 40 in the UK. And, because of their location, they have a uniquely devastating impact on quality of life.

That’s why The Brain Tumour Charity are unwavering in their efforts to double survival and halve the harm done by brain tumours.

Since 2015, The Brain Tumour Charity have committed £38m towards research into brain tumours, making them the largest dedicated funder of brain tumour research in the world. Sadly, more still needs to be done and that’s why they’ve pledged to commit at least a further £40m towards the best and most pioneering research over the next five years.

But they need our support to do that.

The Mayor said “In my Mayoral year, I aim to help The Brian Tumour Charity to increase their funds for research so that more people are helped with this cancer and more lives saved.”
