"We did it!!!" says Louise..... "It was by the far the hardest challenge I have ever done and it very nearly broke me!! 100k in just under 26 hours, and we managed to raise nearly £1400. I’m super sore and very stiff but really pleased I could contribute to the Brain Tumour Research Campaign’s work." Louise Wiggins and her team-mate proudly show their medals after completing the Thames Path Challenge - you can still madk a donation on her justgiving page and help her raise even more to help us #Findacure! www.justgiving.com/fundraising/louise-wiggins1
STORIES
Read about some people whose lives have been touched by brain tumours – we hope you feel as inspired by them as we do!
Sunita Nathwani
Mum-of-three Sunita was diagnosed with a type 2 meningioma brain tumour after an eye test at Specsavers. She underwent surgery and treatment but lost her battle less than two years later. Her husband Upin has been left with a void in his life and is comforted by the pride he feels in their talented and beautiful children.
RESEARCH
Our brain tumour research programme is possibly one of the most comprehensive in the world. Its aim is to look at every possibility to improve the outlook for brain tumour patients by producing rapid “translational” research, ie research that translates into treatments as quickly as possible. We have examined every aspect of the patient pathway from diagnosis through treatment to survival and have identified areas that require improvement to achieve this.
RESEARCH SECTIONS:
Collaborations
The best research comes through exchanging ideas and collaborating with other institutions, both nationally and internationally.
Publications
Research funded by BTRC has produced numerous publications and presentations: here is a list of the published papers, abstracts, posters and presentations that our grants have facilitated.
DONATE
Donations, fundraising and sponsorship are vital to our work.
Our promise
We promise that unlike many charities today:
- none of the money raised will be spent on administration
- 100% of net donations will go to research projects
