Our retired Fundraising Group

Our Fundraising Groups are set up by families who have lost loved ones to brain tumours or have a loved one with a brain tumour diagnosis. Sometimes there comes a time when a family may wish to continue their work of raising awareness and funds, but in a less formal way.

We are grateful to all our Fundraising Groups, past and present, for the invaluable work they do within their communities to promote the brain tumour cause and make a difference in our mission to find a cure for all types of brain tumours.

The following are a Fundraising Group who have retired from active duty, but remain very much a part of our brain tumour community:

One Pound Warriors

The One Pound Warriors was originally a Facebook group set up by 13-year-old Lillie Cotgrove, asking people to join and donate £1 to raise funds for treatment abroad for her school friend diagnosed with a DIPG brain tumour.

Along with various community fundraising events, One Pound Warriors succeeded in raising the significant sum involved, but tragically Lillie’s friend’s health deteriorated and she passed away before being able to access this treatment.

One Pound Warriors is now focused on raising £1million over the next four years to fund research leading to more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for brain tumours.
