We’re thrilled to be the first ever UK charity to partner with the US-based Center for Advancing Innovation (CAI), an organisation dubbed ‘Tinder for start-ups’. We’ll be co-funding a pioneering initiative coordinated by the CAI, called The Brain Race. This will ask researchers and inventors from across the world to submit innovative ideas aimed at defeating brain tumours.

Further research needed to identify possible warning signs of a brain tumour. People with a brain tumour often visit their GP at least once before being diagnosed with a brain tumour, and more than half are diagnosed in emergency care.
