Latimer Park hosts another charity

Brain Tumour UK is a charity dedicated to beating brain tumours. It supports patients and their families and carers, and provides information about this often deadly cancer which is increasing at the rate of two per cent a year. Brain Tumour UK has based its first UK office at Latimer. Latimer Park is owned by entrepreneur Gary Grant and funds towards furnishing the office were donated by Amersham & Chesham Lions. Jenny Baker, the charity's chief executive, said, "On average, brain tumours claim more years of a person's life than any other kind of cancer, yet they receive far less research funding. "With around 50 diagnoses every day we will be working hard in our new offices to increase the amount of funding available for brain tumour research". See our previous posting.
