Our cover star Verity Phillips was diagnosed with a glioblastoma in 2022 after collapsing at work with severe headaches, sickness and fatigue. She was told she may have only 12 to 18 months to live and underwent two brain surgeries followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Now, more than three years later, she has outlived her prognosis and continues to support us by raising awareness and more than £7,000 to help fund vital research.

Verity is also welcoming a £2.6 million investment from Brain Tumour Research into glioblastoma research. This investment will enable scientists at our new Centre of Excellence at the University of Nottingham to push the boundaries of medical technology in a world-first study. Read more about this game-changing initiative in Believe.
Also featured in the magazine is our newest Ambassador, para-athlete Anthony Bryan who is campaigning with us for greater investment into research. Anthony was just six years old when he suffered a stroke during surgery to remove a low-grade astrocytoma, leaving him with hemiplegia (one-sided paralysis) and no peripheral vision on his left side. Despite this, his ambition and determination to keep running led to him become the Guinness World Record holder for the fastest marathon run with hemiplegia, at the TCS London Marathon in 2024.
Our fundraising wouldn’t be possible without dedicated supporters across the nation who’ve taken part in treks, skydiving, marathons and other challenges to raise money and draw attention to the impacts of brain tumours. We’ve included some of their brilliant activities in this publication.
