The Big Wight Matter – September 2009

The Big Wight Matter

Brain Tumour Action is a partner of Brain Tumour Research and is throwing its support behind The Big Wight Matter – BTR’s big fundraising event on the Isle of Wight later this summer.

It’s taking place at the Brighstone Holiday Centre on the Isle of Wight and you, your friends and your dogs are invited to join in with the brain tumour community to raise money towards the vital research we need so badly.

You can read all about it here and download your own copy of the Big Wight Matter poster here to display in your window, your office noticeboard and anywhere else you can think of.В  (N.B. the poster is a .pdf file, and you will need either Acrobat Reader or Foxit Reader on your computer in order to open and print it).

Two fifteen-mile walks, taking in the breathtaking scenery and big skies of West Wight, can be done on two consecutive days. Much shorter walks will also be organised for little legs! Basecamp will be at Brighstone Holiday Centre, where additional entertainment and events will be provided such as music, a hog roast, BBQ facilities, swimming and the all important beer tent. You will be able to walk from basecamp straight onto the cliff paths and wherever possible walks will be off roads. A quiz/treasure hunt will be included and there will be a prize giving ceremony.

This event is being organised by brainstrust on behalf of Brain Tumour Research and its affiliated charities. For more information contact helen@brainstrust.org.uk or tel 01983 292405. Sign up at the Brainstrust website!
