brain tumour research campaign

Donal and Ameera McIntyre

Donal and Ameera McIntyre say:

“We know from our own lives how painful and frightening a brain tumour can be. Ameera was diagnosed with one in 2006 and, although it was small, treatable and manageable, we knew that from that day on nothing would ever be the same again.

It is so important to understand more about them and ensure research must be better funded. Which is why we are fully behind the great work being done by BTRC.”

Marie Helvin says:

“The diagnosis of a brain tumour is devastating, as anyone who has been touched by the disease will know. They can affect anyone, at any age, at any time.My mother died from a brain tumour, just three months after being diagnosed so I know how important it is to understand more about them and why research must be better funded so that they are diagnosed quickly and everyone gets the best treatment.

I am delighted to support the efforts of BTRC who are working so hard to find better treatments and hopefully, in the end, a cure for this devastating disease.”

Kevin and Camilla Sacre-Dallerup say:

“We support the fantastic work being done at BTRC and appreciate how important it is that huge efforts are being put into research in this area. We know how dreadful this disease can be because we lost a young colleague to a brain tumour.

So the work of BTRC is vital if progress is to be made in this under-funded area.”
