Monies raised from the event will enable Brain Tumour Support to help brain tumour patients, their families, carers and loved ones who are facing and coping with a brain tumour diagnosis. Whilst demand for its support is growing each year the charity receives no statutory funding and relies solely on voluntary donations to raise the funds it needs to provide its services. Every year some 16,000 people in the UK will be diagnosed with a brain tumour. Brain tumours are now the second most common cause of death from cancer in under 40’s and the most common solid tumour found in children, having overtaken leukaemia as the biggest killer of children in the UK.
