“I wanted Mum’s memory to help make a difference to other people and families who are facing something similar.”

Lauren’s mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2001 and sadly died in 2014. To mark what would have been her Mum’s 60th birthday and 25 years after her diagnosis, Lauren organised a masquerade ball in honour.

“The ball was a celebration of Mum, but it was also the 60th birthday party she should have been here to have. We wanted to give her the celebration she never got the chance to have, surrounded by the people who loved her most.”

Initially, Lauren set out to raise £3,000 but has now raised a phenomenal £10,045.08, a testament to how loved both Lauren and her mum are.

Thank you to Lauren for your determination and commitment to create a brighter future for everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.

Yesterday, following the meeting between Prime Minister Andy Burnham and Archie Goodburn, the government announced several commitments to accelerate research into brain tumours.

The steps announced yesterday:

✅ An immediate expert review assessing what's preventing progress for research into brain tumours.
✅ The development of a national action plan that will shape a plan to get new treatments out of the lab and available to patients faster.
✅Accelerating the orphan drugs review to help people with rare diseases - including some types of brain tumour - get access to promising new treatments sooner.
✅ The appointment of a new national brain cancer clinical lead to drive this work forward

You can read more about the steps and what that means for the brain tumour community below.

BREAKING NEWS: A landmark moment for the brain tumour community.

Today, Archie Goodburn met with Prime Minister Andy Burnham to discuss the impact of brain tumours and how the government is going to address the needs of the brain tumour community.

Incredibly, they have announced commitments that aim to accelerate research into brain tumours. THIS is a generational shift in how brain tumours are prioritised.

Without the determination of Archie and the rest of the brain tumour community, this wouldn’t have been possible.

Head to the blog to learn more about what was discussed.

"Brain tumours will only be defeated if more money is raised for vital research."

After losing her husband Peter to a glioblastoma brain tumour, Claire Watling decided to leave a gift in her Will to The Brain Tumour Charity.

For Claire, it's a way of making sure support will be there for families facing a devastating diagnosis, and to fund the research that could save lives in the future.

Writing a Will not only makes sure your loved ones are taken care of, it’s also an opportunity to leave a legacy of hope for the causes you care about.

Last year, we provided life-changing support services to more than 12,000 people affected by brain tumours. A gift in your Will of just 1% of your estate after you’ve looked after your loved ones could help us continue to support even more people in the future.

Best of luck to our incredible team of 127 runners who are taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon today!

The team will be taking on a stunning 13.1-mile route through four of London’s eight Royal Parks—Hyde Park, Green Park, St James’s Park, and Kensington Gardens—all while helping to accelerate a cure for brain tumours.

For anyone diagnosed with a long-term illness, mental health problems are all too common, and we know that those with a brain tumour are no different.

On , we want to highlight how our community looks after their mental health.

Nine in ten people we spoke to said their emotional or mental health had been affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.

Whether it's taking time out to do things you enjoy, connecting with loved ones, getting outside, or speaking to others who understand, there are many ways the community prioritises their mental health.

Our support & information line, Facebook groups and counselling service are here to support you throughout your own or a loved one's brain tumour diagnosis.

No one has to face a brain tumour diagnosis alone.

Last month, Clare cycled from Land’s End to John O’Groats in support of her friend’s young son, Oban, who is living with a brain tumour.

Clare expected the journey to take up to three weeks and set off without a fundraising target, simply hoping to raise as much as possible. She went on to raise an incredible £9,780.95.

Thank you, Clare, for your determination and committment to improving the lives of everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.

“Nothing will ever prepare you to lose someone you love”
Earlier this year, Gareth and his daughters, Gwen and Elin, took on the London Marathon in memory of their wife and mum, Michelle, who died in March 2025 following a glioblastoma diagnosis.

Michelle started experiencing seizures in the summer of 2023. After extensive tests and a biopsy, she was diagnosed with a glioblastoma.

Having set out to raise £6,000 each, the trio have raised an incredible £141,500 for The Charity.

Thank you, Gareth, Gwen, and Elin for your unwavering determination and commitment to create a brighter future for everyone affected by a brain tumour in Michelle’s memory.
