Brain Tumour Awareness Month is a time to make the hidden impact of brain tumours more understood, and shared experience matters. Many people tell us that hearing “me too” can be the moment they finally feel less alone. Throughout March, we’re sharing real stories from people living with diagnosis, long-term impact, and life after loss.
If you’d like to connect with others who understand, support groups can be a gentle first step. Explore Brain Tumour Awareness Month and follow the stories through the month.
