Brain Tumour UK is supported by a host of celebrity patrons.

Our lead patron is Phil Tufnell

A former England cricketer and now famous as a team captain on the BBC's A Question of Sport, Phil felt moved to offer his support alongside another cricketing patron, Alan Igglesden, and in memory of Kent cricketer, Richard Davis.

Phil says: "I’ve added my voice to Brain Tumour UK because I’ve seen the shocking impact that a brain tumour has had on a very good friend.

"That’s why I’m helping Brain Tumour UK and I'll hope you can join me. Together, we can make a real difference for everyone affected by a brain tumour."
