Standing Together for Brain Tumour Awareness Month

Every year, over 12,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour. Behind each of those numbers is a person, a family, and a life turned upside down by one of the most devastating forms of cancer.

March is Brain Tumour Awareness Month, a time to reflect, raise awareness, and push for the improvements so urgently needed in diagnosis, treatment, and care.

To mark this important month, I recently joined The Brain Tumour Charity (@BrainTumourOrg) to show my support and stand alongside campaigners, patients, and families who are fighting for change. It was a moving and powerful event, where we heard firsthand the impact this disease has and the critical gaps that still exist in funding and research.

Brain tumours remain the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, yet research into them remains underfunded compared to other forms of cancer. That needs to change. We owe it to every patient and every loved one to ensure that diagnosis happens earlier, treatments improve, and no one faces a brain tumour alone.

As the MP for Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket, I’ll continue to support those calling for better investment in research, faster diagnoses, and better access to support services. I’m proud to stand with The Brain Tumour Charity and all those affected.

Let’s keep the momentum going — not just in March, but all year round.
