BODY BOOST 2025!
We are honoured to be part of Body Boost, organised by Abi, and raising vital funds and awareness for Brain Tumour Research.
All profits will go to Brain Tumour Research to help support the amazing work they do.
If you are unable to make the event, but would still like to support this vital cause, please donate whatever you can via Just Giving. It will be really appreciated.
JUST GIVING LINK
“One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. This disease is indiscriminate; it can affect anyone at any age. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.
Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this. It is the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. By attending this event, you will help fund the fight to find a cure.
So, why not treat yourself to a day of self-care and leave feeling refreshed, empowered, whilst supporting a great cause.
See below for details of the event.
Hope to see you there!”
