  • Our Vision
    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.

    Our vision

    To raise public awareness of the need for brain tumour research and the lack of funding that currently exists by a series of fundraising events and applications for research grants among corporate and medical bodies or trusts

About BTRC

The idea of starting a charity was really John's in the beginning: after his surgery, he wanted to make a contribution to Kevin O'Neill's preferred charity as a token of our appreciation for everything he had done for us. With this in mind, when John lost his battle against the disease, I asked Kevin what that charity should be: he replied that donations "in lieu of flowers" at John's funeral would be welcomed at Imperial College, where a fund could be started to contribute towards research.
