Our Patrons and Ambassadors


Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity have some fantastic high profile supporters who help us in so many different ways.

Our President, Lady Kathy Botham is a constant source of support and nominated YBTC to be one of four charities supported by the Beefy Charity Foundation, Sir Ian Botham's charity.
   

Lady Kathy Botham
Charity President

"I am delighted and honoured to be President of Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity. I have known the team since 2003 and I really admire their dedication and commitment particularly that of the medics who give up their precious free time to be involved further in the care of the patients they treat.

Their support and advice helps to shape the charity into a resource that helps patients, carers and science both now and in the future. The development of the brain tumour research lab in Leeds is particularly exciting and a project that receives my support."    

 

Sir Ian Botham OBE
Charity Patron


"I was delighted to become a Patron of Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity and was appalled to learn that the prognosis for those affected by the most aggressive brain tumours has not improved for over 40 years.

Dedicated science and research in other areas of medicine has ensured that the life expectancy for those living with many cancers has improved significantly, it is sad that this is not so for this group of people.

Hopefully, with the development of the brain tumour research centre in Leeds we will soon see some major breakthroughs that will improve treatment options for patients."

Liz Green
Celebrity Ambassador

"
After losing a close friend to a brain tumour I understand first hand the devastation this disease causes. I will help all I can to raise awareness to support the charity and its aims."
 



Jackie Alliss
Charity Patron

"Whilst I now live in Surrey I do have a strong connection with Yorkshire. My husband is the famous professional golfer, author and the world's best known TV golf commentator, Peter Alliss and for a number of years we lived in Leeds as Peter was the golf professional at the renowned Moor Allerton Golf Club.

I was delighted to become a Patron and get involved with Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity as it looks to provide two key services for its supporters – research and patient/carer support.


Through painful and personal experience, I understand the level of support which is needed when you are caring for someone you love who has an incurable neurological condition.

YBTC is developing a comprehensive support network that is designed to help patients and carers as they try to make sense of the diagnosis and situation they find themselves in. There is also a structure in place that provides support and friendship for those who have lost someone they love to this awful disease."
