It’s Wear a Hat Day in aid of Brain Tumour Research - so Greg Smith MP was pleased to join in the fundraising in Padbury at Sue and Justin Farrington-Smith’s, alongside Iain Stewart MP — channelling a little papaya spirit for his headwear!
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.
Now in its 15th year, Wear A Hat Day has raised more than £2 million to help raise awareness of this devastating disease, campaign for the Government and larger charities to spend more, and fund ground-breaking research at our network of Centres of Excellence where scientists are focused on improving treatments for patients and, ultimately, finding a cure.
