​A daring member of our Wolverhampton Support Group, Tammy Henn, took to the skies last Sunday, August 14th, and jumped out of a plane for Brain Tumour Support - and she came back with some amazing photographs of her experience. 

Tammy smashed her fundraising target too - so far she has raised over £700 (including Gift Aid) and she is still accepting donations if you would like to contribute to her total - www.justgiving.com/fundraising/tammy-henn3. 
Big thanks to Tammy and everyone who has sponsored her.

So we are hoping that the new date, Monday 22nd August, will be more favourable. Watch this space, and we wish them all happy jumping!

​And if you think skydiving might be the experience for you too, do take a look at our skydiving page and get in touch with our fundraising team.

Jessica's father Martin has fought a 12 year battle having been diagnosed with a grade 4 brain tumour in 2004, followed by a second tumour found in 2011. As a result he has faced intensive rounds of radiotherapy, surgery and chemotherapy, and the whole family have experienced the devastating impact that this has had. 

Determined to help others in a similar position, Jessica wanted to raise funds for the local Wolverhampton Brain Tumour Support Group, and she has come up with all sorts of ideas to achieve her goal.

With help of good friends she has organised a neighbourhood stall to sell home-made rose petal perfume, lavender bunches, cards, and tea lights, as well as bric-a-brac (mostly unwanted books and old toys) and, when the weather has been hot, even ice lollies. 

Jessica set a target of raising £100 by the end of the summer holidays, but as they have already raised £75 she has now increased the target to £150.

We are delighted to announce that our ever popular Patient and Family Weekend is returning in March 2017, and will be held in the stunning setting of Tortworth Court Hotel, Tortworth, near Wotton-Under-Edge in South Gloucestershire. ​

You can see more on our website here, and full details will be available in October, when bookings will also open.
