Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer - but just 1% of the national spend on cancer research is allocated to brain cancer
"Ben was denied his future, a long life. We were robbed of the joy of seeing our beautiful boy grow up because of a disease that is, at the moment, ahead of the science. This must change."
But in the days around Christmas 2018, the family were struck by the reality of brain cancer as symptoms returned and they were told the tumours had grown once again. "It felt awful, cruel and at times futile but we had no other choice given the lack of other treatment options available."With the pandemic we have seen what can be achieved when research is prioritised and properly funded.
They are asking the government to ring-fence £110m of current and new funding to kick-start an increase in the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million a year by 2028.Brain Tumour Research says the increase in research investment would put brain tumours in line with the spend on cancers of breast, bowel and lung, as well as leukaemia.
