Angelica Ronald, a genetics professor, participated in the London Winter Walk to support Brain Tumour Research, driven by her mother's prolonged battle with brain tumours. Her mother suffers from severe side effects following treatment, prompting Angelica to advocate for increased research funding and awareness. Despite the complexity of brain tumors and the rise in cases, only a small fraction of cancer research funding is allocated to this area. Angelica has raised £2,500 towards research and emphasizes the importance of investment in this field to improve treatment options and survival rates.
"It's been difficult watching her have to deal with so many symptoms, the headaches and the hurdles of having surgery and the recovery time."
"The brain is a complex part of the body, responsible for someone's personality and functioning. But brain tumour research is underfunded."
"We need more information in order to improve prevention and treatment."
"There are more than 100 different types of brain tumour, making it difficult to find effective treatments."
