About Us
Our story.
What are the odds of two best friends being diagnosed with exactly the same brain tumour? Microscopic, but that’s exactly what happened to us. We’re Janice and Elly – aka the Brain Tumour Twins – and we were both diagnosed with meningiomas – low grade tumours that grow in the meninges membrane surrounding the brain. The highs and lows of this one-million-to-one coincidence has given us an even closer bond and we’re determined to make it count.
So we’re on a mission to raise £30,000 for Brainstrust, representing the number of people diagnosed with a brain tumour every year in the UK.
We started with our 30 Miles For £30K in phase 1 of our fundraising campaign. Now our mission is to host the greatest Prize Draw ever during Brain Tumour Awareness Month in March. Read more about the draw and how you can get involved below.
