Simon Hill
Chief Executive Officer, UK Ultimate
We are delighted that the Children’s Brain Tumour Research Centre has been chosen to benefit from this world class competition. Brain and spinal tumours are sadly the main cause of Cancer related death in Children and Adolescents and those that survive all too frequently have long term disability due to the tumour or its treatment. CBTRC is dedicated to changing this outlook, developing not only more effective treatments, but also those that are ‘kinder’ and less damaging. Research is the key to achieving these aims and funds raised at this fantastic sporting event will allow us to continue our vital work. We want to wish good luck to everyone taking part!
