Join our annual Walk of Hope on Saturday 26th September and help bring hope to brain tumour patients and their families.
Host your own walk wherever you are or join us at our flagship event at Chatsworth in Derbyshire. Every step you take and every pound you raise will make a difference.
Plan your own walk, and choose your location and distance. Whether you’re strolling solo, gathering family or trekking with four-legged friends, you’ll be part of a nationwide movement united by one shared goal: finding a cure for all types of brain tumours.
Or join us for our Walk of Hope at Chatsworth, and stride out alongside others who understand what it means to be affected by brain tumours. Bring the whole family along – the route is pram-friendly and wheelchair accessible, and dogs are welcome too.
We’ll support you every step of your way, with a digital guide to plan your route, expert advice from your local Community Fundraiser and access to our friendly Facebook Group to connect with other walkers. So, pop on your free Brain Tumour Research t-shirt, plot your picnic pitstop and help us create a sea of pink across the UK and make it a truly unforgettable day for everyone involved.
Among those already planning their walk is Tracey Piggott. For the past three years, she has organised a group walk between cricket grounds and pubs in Grimsby.
"When I planned our first Walk of Hope in 2023, I never imagined that we'd go on to raise more than £15,000 over the years. This September, we'll hold our fourth Grimsby walk, inviting people to pay a registration fee to get their t-shirt and join us for the whole 18 miles or just a section of our route. We even welcome non-walkers to join us at our cricket ground and pub pitstops along the way and put a few pounds in the pot,” Tracey said.
“Our Walk of Hope was set up in memory of our friends Drinksy and Andy, and for all those in our small cricket club who are living with or tragically lost their lives to this awful illness. It's an incredibly inspiring feeling to see the community coming together to help fight brain tumours. It's also surprisingly easy to organise, especially if you get people involved in the planning too, and Brain Tumour Research is there to help every step of the way. I would urge anyone considering holding their own Walk of Hope to take the leap and go for it!"
Tracey and her walking group
Each year, nearly 13,000 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour in the UK. By joining our Walk of Hope, you’re helping us change the story.
Whether you plan your own walk or join our flagship event on Saturday 26th September, your fundraising will make a real difference while bringing hope to the brain tumour community. Register today.
