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.
4 Aurora has been set up by Margherita and Francesco Provenzano to raise much needed funds for research into this devastating disease. They named the Fundraising Group in memory of their beautiful daughter. Aurora was just 6 years old with her whole life ahead of her when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She fought a brave battle for three and a half years, but sadly lost the fight and left her parents and two sisters, Isabella and Chiara with a huge hole in their family.
Her parents wanted to do something to help because they know that right now another family somewhere is getting the news that their loved one has a brain tumour. They also want to raise awareness of brain tumours and let people know how shocking it is that only 1% of national cancer research spending is on brain tumours. When Aurora was in hospital, Margherita, Aurora's mother, actually remembers thinking, "why couldn't she have had leukaemia?" as she would then have stood a good chance of surviving.
