Welcome to Naseem's Manx Brain Tumour Charity website.  Our aim is to support Island residents who are suffering with a brain tumour by way of giving them financial support and providing the latest information about brain tumours.

You will see throughout the various pages, news about our fundraising events, where to look up information about brain tumours and links to the major UK organisations who work with sufferers and their families.

We also support research and are currently supporting two research programmes.    One at Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology and one at Brain Tumour UK's lab at Wolverhampton.

One of the doctors that we are supporting is Dr Carol Walker.  She is based at Clatterbridge has had a varied research career.  Carol is currently working with a research assistant on several work streams including Molecular markers and tissue bank samples.  They are particularly interested in why some primary tumours spread to the brain and why low grade brain tumours turn to high grade.  We would like to take this research a step further and fund  a PhD student who will focus on research in a certain time frame.  Indeed the University of Liverpool has a programme already written for us, we just need to raise £125k to fund it.  We are very fortunate to have a link with the research teams which will guarantee updates on their findings.  These will be reported in our research page.

Since the Charity was set up in October 2009 by Naseem, we have supported a number of people locally and hopefully have created an awareness of brain tumours and where to go for help.  We would welcome any feedback you may have or if you would like to contact us then get in touch our address is on the contact page.  Please also note, we have no admin, buildings costs or outgoings all monies donated go straight to patient comforts and to support research that will benefit Isle of Man brain tumour sufferers!

There are several events coming up throughout the year and we welcome your support, we also have a Facebook page entitled Naseems Manx Brain Tumour Charity.  Please join us if you can. Finally  "Please note that not all brain tumours are malignant, so find out more from our pages".
