A fantastic night at the @YorkshireBTC Black Tie Ball in Retford! 🧠
So grateful to work with such amazing community ambassadors, who are so passionate and proactive in fundraising to help support #braintumour patients & families! 💙
As with many #charities, @YorkshireBTC was heavily affected by the reduction in funding after the #pandemic, and 2023 was a tough year for the #charity
Fast-forward to today, where we've successfully steadied the ship, and we’ve now coproduced our future strategy! What. A. Day.
We’ve braved the rain & are ready for the #EborFestival at @yorkracecourse this weekend! 🐎
The results are in & @YorkshireBTC have been paired with a horse called ‘Chillingham’!
Fingers crossed we can secure the funding to help Yorkshire-based #braintumour patients & families!
Scientists at our Centre of Excellence at the @PlymUni are exploring a groundbreaking clinical trial. They're testing whether HIV and AIDS drugs can help people with Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2). 🧬
