Events serve many purposes. In addition to raising much-needed funds for the Trust, local events have the significant benefit of raising awareness about brain tumours. Creating an event can be a fun and meaningful project for friends and family, as well as an engaging way to reach out to new people. Here is a selection of people who did just that......
On Saturday 17th May 2008 'The Crystal Ball', organised by Andy and Sharon Bygate was held in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire. Guests enjoyed a champagne reception, dinner, dancing and an auction. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, donors and guests a cheque for £65,000 has been presented to us. Thank you to everyone concerned.
