Team Tabei are one of the teams about to take on Everest in the Alps, the ultimate winter endurance challenge, to help raise money for research into childhood brain tumours. But what makes it such an extreme challenge?

During International Brain Tumour Awareness Week (30th October – 6th November), The Brain Tumour Charity is launching Businesses Against Brain Tumours, the first campaign of its kind bringing the business community together to power progress against brain tumours.

The Brain Tumour Charity is continuing its partnership with ethical, sustainable clothing brand Teemill to launch a brand new range of clothes under its well-known ‘A Cure Can’t Wait’ slogan.

Our supporters, fundraisers and partners are a truly inspirational bunch! From the corporate world to comedy and more, read about just some of the ways our community are raising funds and awareness – as well as challenging themselves to go further, faster for a cure.

It is the UK’s largest matched funding campaign and through the campaign any donation made here until 12pm on Tuesday 8th December is eligible to be doubled.

We’re encouraging everyone in our community to ‘walk it your way’ this October to mark the month of our annual flagship fundraising event – The Twilight Walk.

For one week only, from midday on Tuesday 18 August, your donations can be doubled – meaning your gift will have twice the impact on our efforts to get research in the lab back on track.
