Do you have a copy of our fatigue resource? It will help you to understand and evaluate your fatigue, learn a new pace of living, take steps to mitigate the impact of fatigue and make the most of what you can do, rather than what you can’t.

You chose grey. You changed lives.
A HUGE thank you to each and every person who joined us this week to shine a light on the hidden challenges that follow after hearing the words "you have a brain tumour." There's still time to #weargrey. Text GREY to 70085 to donate £5.

From today, the Blue Badge scheme is eligible for people with hidden disabilities such as anxiety and brain injury. This is a great step towards helping people living with a #braintumour or the impact of surgery to get around as easily as possible, and live life as they want to.

At the end of April we rekindled our connection with @brainstrust. They're an incredible organisation who support brain tumour patients and their families. We can't wait to welcome more of their carers to our cottage for a little break!

Heart.
Backbone.
Guts.
Brains.
Do it for the challenge, do it for the camaraderie, do it for views like this. Do it to raise vital funds for the 60,000 people in the UK who have been diagnosed with a #braintumour - buff.ly/2P6WIcB
