brain tumours affect people of all ages ...

there is a great need for a better understanding of what causes them, how the brain reacts to them and how they behave - and an even greater need for better and more effective treatments ....

Please help our fellow charities raise money for brain tumour research:

Ellie Othick-Bowmaker died on Valentine’s Day 2010 aged just 14: whilst battling against 2 brain tumours she managed to help raise over £25,000 for charities, including over £5,000 for Ali’s Dream through the sale of Butterfly’s Wings a CD she recorded with her songwriter uncle, which she devoted to Ali’s Dream (www.alisdream.org.uk) to raise funds for childhood brain tumour research.

Her bravery inspired the staff and students at Scalby School to record the song Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World, backed by a beautiful tribute video, which you can see on YouTube

Ellie’s mum Heather Othick has established Ellie’s Fund (www.elliesfund.com) which operates under the umbrella of Ali’s Dream - a founding member of Brain Tumour Research (www.braintumourresearch.org)
