Mission Statement
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and young adults under 40. They are among the six least survivable cancers. The five-year survival rate for adults diagnosed with a malignant tumour is just 11%. Brain tumours attack the part of the body that makes you who you are. They affect your cognition, memory, relationships, finances, independence, personality and sense of who you are. Today, 32 people in the UK will be diagnosed with a brain tumour. Despite this, research into brain tumours is woefully and chronically underfunded, receiving just 3% of the UK cancer research spend. Every day, The Brain Tumour Charity works tirelessly with our inspiring community to double the survival and halve the harm that brain tumours have on quality of life. Because we understand that when you or someone you love is diagnosed with a brain tumour, a cure really can't wait.
About This Cause
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, we're moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. We fund pioneering research to increase survival and improve treatment options. We raise awareness of the symptoms and effects of brain tumours to get earlier diagnosis and to help families cope with everything that the diagnosis of a brain tumour brings. We provide support for everyone affected so that they can live as full a life as possible, with the best quality of life. The Charity is committed to having the biggest possible impact for every person affected by a brain tumour, to defending the most amazing part of the human body, so that getting the diagnosis of a brain tumour no longer means a death sentence. We believe that fighting brain tumours on all fronts through research, awareness and support is the only way to save lives, reduce long term disabilities and help everyone with a brain tumour and their families cope with everything that the diagnosis of a brain tumour brings.
