Brain tumours impact so many, yet just 1% of cancer research funds are allocated to brain tumour research. Let's make a difference!

1/ It's good to see the BBC raising awareness of brain tumours & #Glioblastoma on Eastenders. Brain tumours kill more children & adults under 40 than any other cancer, so it's important to be aware of the symptoms,& if you feel there is something wrong push until you get answers.
It’s time to be #BetterSafeThanTumour
Today we launch our new signs and symptoms campaign to raise awareness and empower people to act if they suspect they might have a brain tumour.
2/ Dave's 1st symptom was a recurring severe headache, after an A&E visit & pushing for a scan, his tumour was found & his Glioblastoma diagnosis followed. The headaches were caused by hydrocephalus (build up of fluid) creating pressure, & the tumour blocking the drainage system.
Another amazing human doing something incredible for Dave! 🏃♀️🏃♀️
Sarah is running the #bournemouth10k - she has beaten her target of £250 but let’s add more!
