brainstrust is a unique charity supporting brain tumour patients and caregivers with practical and emotional support. This includes coaching, support groups and provision of advice on a wide range of brain tumour related issues.
Every day, around 79 people will hear the devastating and life changing words ‘you have a brain tumour’.
From 1st to 31st October, Wear Grey returns. This community campaign is to show people they are not alone, to raise the profile of this devastating disease and to raise vital funds to help ensure everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis, gets the support they need to live their best life possible.
This October we want you to take on the Wear Grey £79 Challenge
However you choose to take part, you’ll be helping raise awareness and support people affected by brain tumours.
A brain tumour diagnosis brings with it the double impact of a cancer diagnosis and a progressively debilitating neurological disease.
Brain tumour treatment is complex and nearly always harmful, and diagnosis brings with it enormous impact on well-being and mental health. Fear, isolation, disempowerment and loss of control abound.
This is where we help. We provide personalised brain tumour support, to help you live life with a brain tumour.
Take control of your care. We provide the tools, connection, and expert support you need to feel confident and involved.

In July 2026, British endurance athlete Jack Jarvis will attempt something no one is known to have done before: run 13,000km continuously from Beijing to London to raise £1 million for brainstrust.
That’s the equivalent of more than 300 marathons in consecutive days.
This extraordinary endurance challenge will take Jack across 18 countries, through extreme climates, remote terrain and complex geopolitical regions, before finishing at Trafalgar Square in London, hopefully around spring 2027. It’s the biggest fundraising challenge ever undertaken for our charity.
If anyone can do it, Jack can.
Our vision is for everyone with a brain tumour to feel less afraid, less alone and more in control.
