Our amazing family of Fundraising Groups
Championing the fight against brain tumours and raising thousands for our cause, helping us build network of experts in sustainable research at dedicated Centres of Excellence and supporting us as we influence the Government and larger cancer charities to invest more nationally.
The Wake Fundraising Group
The Wake Fundraising Group was set up by the friends and family of Jonathan Wake. Jonathan was diagnosed with a brain tumour in November 2019, after he collapsed at home and underwent emergency surgery. He was awaiting immunotherapy treatment when a scan revealed more tumours had grown. Jonathan passed away in March 2020, just three months after his diagnosis.
In June 2020, friends and family organised a 4.4.48 challenge which raised more £21,250 for Brain Tumour Research. The Wake Fundraising Group plans to take part in a number of sporting challenges and continue to grow its 4.4.48 event, turning Jonathan’s sporting passion into funds to help find a cure for this devastating disease.
