Why not become a corporate ambassador like Jane and Roderick Marsden?

Brain Tumour UK

Roderick Marsden became involved with us when his son Marcus developed a brain tumour over ten years ago and had a reoccurrence in 2006. Realising there was a lack of awareness and funding for brain tumours, Roderick, and his wife Jane, decided to help. In 2007, their company, Travail Employment Group, made a generous donation of £12,500 and a laptop to Brain Tumour UK. In February 2008 they seconded a member of their staff - Claire Miller now works for the charity as a public relations and events assistant. She helps Roderick with Brain Tumour UK activities in Shrewsbury and works with Chief Executive Jenny Baker and her team on publicity and events, including our annual conference on 14/15 July 2008.

Shrewsbury based Brain Tumour UK self-help group

 

After realising there was a lack of support in the region, Roderick and Jane Marsden founded a Brain Tumour UK self-help group for brain tumour patients, relatives and carers in the Midlands and mid - Wales. The group meets at the Radbrook Community Centre at 1 pm on the second Friday of each month. Attendance is free however donations to help with the cost of the service are always welcome. We would also like to hear from any company willing to offer sponsorship to support the group’s activities.

For more information on the group or to offer sponsorship please contact Claire Miller on 0845 219 8107 or email Claire.miller@braintumouruk.org.uk

 

Carver Wolverhampton City Marathon Events 2008

Brain Tumour UK has been chosen as the beneficiary charity of the Carver Wolverhampton City Marathon Events 2008 through an application from its Shrewsbury based self-help group. We are now looking for entrants to raise sponsorship by taking part in an event of their choice from a marathon, a half - marathon (including wheelchairs) a half - marathon relay challenge or a 15k cycle event and a children’s mini marathon. The events are aimed at all ages and abilities and are about taking part, keeping active, raising funds and, of course, having a fun and memorable day! You can walk it, jog it, run it, go round in your wheelchair, even do it in fancy dress if you feel like it – the main thing is that you take part! If you would like to be involved without entering an event you could be a volunteer marshal as we’ll need lots of help on the day!

For more information, to ask for sponsorship forms or to be a marshal contact Claire Miller on 0845 219 8107 or email Claire.miller@braintumouruk.org.uk
