62MILE BIKE RIDE -CHILDREN'S BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH

Tax deductible
Lion Manjeet Rai - Head of Fundraising for Coventry Mercia Lions has pledged to raise a target of £5,000 for Lions Brain Tumour Research.

To raise money for this incredible cause, both of Lion Manjeet's son-in-law's - Nick Cooper & Steven Kahlon -  have committed themselves to complete a 62 mile bike ride on Sunday 15th November 2020.

Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer... yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this.

The shocking statistics speak for themselves:

Too many people are being faced with the devastating diagnosis each year – every two hours, someone is diagnosed with a brain tumour in England.

In the UK, 16,000 people each year are diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Only 12% of brain tumour patients survive beyond five years of their diagnosis, whereas over 70% of breast cancer and over 40% of leukaemia patients survive beyond five years.

Brain tumours are the chief cause of cancer deaths in children and young people - in 2015, the number of children dying from cancer was 194, with brain tumours taking 67 young lives and leukaemia 46.

Brain tumours continue to kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer.

Brain tumours kill more men under 45 than prostate cancer.

Brain tumours kill more women under 35 than breast cancer.

Please help us to support this cause and to contribute generously towards the research needed to bring the statistics lower.

Thank you,

Coventry Mercia Lions
