Shelia Hancock-Actor,Author former chancellor of the University of Portsmouth and an amazinz Ambassador for 

Brain Tumour Research - launched our wall of hope at the Brain Tumour Research Centre Of Excellence at the University of Portsmouth. The wall marked the launch of Brain Tumour Research`s national 7m "Centres Of Hope" fundrising campaigh  to raise 7m per year for seven Centres of Excellence to get closer to and ultimately find a cure for brain tumours.

To find a cure for brain tumours will take years of research. Research costs money.

To enable the University of Portsmouth Centre of Excellence to focus on a three year programme of brain tumour research will need £1 million per annum.

Put simply, over the course of 365 days in a year, that`s £2,740 per day.

£1 million per year will pay for a team of researches and support staff. headed by a research fellow. It will also pay for materials that need such as tissue culture plastic ware, molecular & chemicals reagents, serum and assay kits.
