The Giles' Trust Brain Tumour Fund
Funds and Trusts
Funding brain tumour research, pioneering equipment and providing support to Brian tumour patients.
About us
The Giles’ Trust Brain Tumour Fund was born out of a determination to help fund one of the most under-funded areas of cancer research in the UK. In 2006, England cricketer Ashley Giles rushed back from Australia, where he had been part of the Ashes team, to be with his wife, Stine, who had been diagnosed with a brain tumour. She underwent treatment at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB), but six years later, another two tumours were found and she became one of the first people in the country to be treated by the TomoTherapy machine. Without this revolutionary piece of equipment, treatment options were limited, but she promised that if her treatment went well and her prognosis was good, she would dedicate herself to raising money to help brain tumour research. The pioneering therapy worked and three years later, in 2015 she and Ashley launched the charity. Brain tumour research remains a central aim of the charity and it also proudly funds other research projects. In 2018, Stine was diagnosed with another tumour that required immediate treatment – and thanks to the world-class experts at QEHB, her outcome was positive. She remains under the care of her team of clinicians, yet continues to focus on fundraising efforts to help them in their research. Since 2015, when The Giles’ Trust Brain Tumour Fund was launched, it has raised more than £1 million and it has also successfully lobbied the NHS to fund an additional research nurse at the hospital. The charity continues to grow in strength and has recently invested in Artificial Intelligence, a Surgical Navigational System and a Nexstim Brain Scanner. With your help we can continue to raise vital funds for further research, much-needed equipment and support for brain tumour patients. Please help us to fulfil our vision.
