Our good friend, mountaineer and skier, Bob Redwood, died recently due to brain tumours of a type known as “Glioblastoma Multiforme” the most common and aggresive type. This has led us to this fundraising effort. The aim is to raise awareness and funds for the Brain Tumour Research Campaign. 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.
