The Rudy A Menon Foundation

The Rudy A Menon Foundation One step closer to curing inoperable brain cancers
💙💛💙 Rudy was an inspiration to his family and friends with all that he aspired for and achieved.

--Rudy's Story--
On the 4th of June 2013, on his 26th birthday, we lost Rudy to Gliomatosis Cerebri ("GC"), an extremely rare and inoperable form of brain cancer. He conducted himself with the kind of compassion and care that far belied his young age. His belief in helping those around him is something we would like to take forward. The Rudy A Menon Foundation has been set up to help fund research

on Gliomatosis Cerebri and other rare brain cancers. We are working with The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London, UK, where Prof. Chris Jones and his team are doing ground breaking research.

💙💛💙

With your help we hope to spread awareness of GC and help raise funds for research towards a cure, including through our Rudy A Menon PhD Studentship which commenced in 2019.

🥁 It’s time for the 13th annual “Remembering Rudy” Walk! 👣 🌍

This year, the walk will take place from May 3rd to June 7th and the virtual format will mean you can take part no matter where in the world you are, once more. We ask that you walk (or run, or skip, or dance, or just get moving) wherever you are, whenever you can, individually, but as one, with the goal of collectively completing “A Walk Around the World for Rudy”. 💃🕺

What are we doing: We are once again walking individually but as a team, counting our steps and total distance walked, with the goal of collectively walking around the world in memory of Rudy. That equates to approximately 60-65 million steps in total or 7,000-10,000 steps per person, per day.

When is it happening: The walk will start on May 3rd and end on June 7th (inclusive), giving us 35 days to walk around the world together! 🌎

How will it work: We are asking for a £25 fee to register as a walker paid via Eventbrite. Once the Walk begins all walkers are encouraged to seek to raise funds through sponsorship from friends, family, colleagues, etc. and will receive instructions and a link to collect sponsorship. We will be using the Big Team Challenge (BTC) platform to monitor our progress around the world over the course of the month. 💛

✨ What a night! ✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us for last night’s Rudy’s Regulars Wine Tasting. The drinks were flowing, the competition was fierce, and some fantastic prizes went home with our winners! 🍷🎉

Most importantly, every laugh, sip, and raffle ticket helped support the incredible work of the Rudy A Menon Foundation, raising awareness and funding vital research into rare and inoperable brain cancers. 💛

We’re so grateful for this amazing community - your support makes all the difference. Until next year! 🍷 💫

The Rudy A Menon Foundation is hosting the next Rudy’s Regulars Wine Tasting on Saturday, 15th November! 💫 The format will once again be a fun and light-hearted twist on a wine tasting. As you know, it’s all for a great cause, helping to raise awareness and fund research on rare and inoperable brain cancers. Check out our website to find out more about what we do: www.rudyamenon.org

This time the event is being hosted at the wine-centric private members’ club, 67 Pall Mall, and once again we will have a wine raffle at the end. The format is a “call my bluff” style of tasting in which you will blind-taste a wine and then listen to three different professional wine educators tell you about the wine you just tasted, however, two of them will be lying to you and it is your job to determine which one is telling the truth!

There will be prizes for the winners, a raffle for some great bottles of vino, light bites and a lot of free-flowing wine!
