Brain Tumour Awareness Month Campaign 2025

2025/10/29

Brain Tumour Awareness Month Campaign 2025 is dedicated to increasing awareness about brain tumours, both malignant and benign, and it is an opportunity to unite as a collective force, raise our voices, and create positive change. It’s a time to underscore the importance of research, share stories of those affected, and emphasize the need for early detection, advanced treatments, and support services for patients and their families.

The brain tumour experience is full of extraordinary challenges and extraordinary hope – the grey area that falls in between is what drives us, unrelentingly, toward our shared mission to conquer and find better treatments and ultimately, a cure.
