Being told ‘you have a brain tumour’ is terrifying, isolating and confusing. We know.

brainstrust is the charity and the community that’s here to help these people and those who look after them, whoever they are, and wherever they are on their journey.

Your support makes a difference

Your support means we can help patients to feel more in control, feel less alone, and be less afraid in the face of a terrifying brain tumour diagnosis.

Fundraising efforts from people like you taking on these events make up around a quarter of our annual income. This ensures we can provide mentoring, coaching, counselling, support, and resources for all those 80,000 people in the UK living with a brain tumour.

What your fundraising can do

£400 could fund 10 customised brain boxes – our must-have support toolkit for people newly diagnosed with a brain tumour.

£200 could pay for 13 tailored online workshops delivered by the brainstrust team and expert speakers from across the UK.

Event details

For all of our events, there will be a Registration fee and also a fundraising target. At brainstrust, we continuously check our registration fees and fundraising targets to ensure we are competitive.

What you’ll receive

As part of Team Brainstrust, all runners will receive a free brainstrust t-shirt or vest, a fundraising pack, and will have full support with training and fundraising advice throughout the event journey.

We will also send you all a thank you letter and certificate on completion of your challenge for us!
