Neil and Angela Dickson HeadSmart Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust THIS year, the “HeadSmart - be brain tumour aware” campaign was launched by the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust, the UK's largest brain tumour charity.
The campaign aims to help parents and health professionals spot the signs of brain tumours in children and young people. Since the launch in June, awareness of the campaign has increased 10 fold. This is largely due to the support of local people who have tirelessly helped to spread the message and we want to say a huge thank-you to them all this Christmas.
Brain tumours are the leading cause of cancer deaths in children and more than 500 children and young people are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year.
The earlier a brain tumour is diagnosed, the better the chance of survival and reduction in long-term disabilities.
With your help next year, HeadSmart aims to make every person in the country brain tumour aware.
The more people who can spot the signs of a brain tumour, the more young lives we can help save.
