BUG IN THE BRAIN
Charity Fundraiser, 1st November 2021, Wild By Tart
In conjunction with The Auction Collective, we will be hosting a dinner and auction at Wild by Tart on the 1st November 2021.
Guests will enjoy an evening of entertainment, a black-tie dinner and an unmissable auction featuring carefully curated lots.
Guests will be invited to bid on handpicked works from renowned artists, such as Jacky Tsai and Freddy Paske as well as extraordinary experiences, fine jewellery and much more. In addition, there will be an online Timed Auction, so that those who can't make dinner can also join the bidding fun.
This event will also highlight the incredible work of Northwest Biotherapeutics, in the hopes that their pioneering DCVax®-L programme will become more widely accessible in future.
Katy’s story
In June 2019, aged just 29, Katy was diagnosed with a high-grade brain tumour.
For the last 2 years she has battled the tumour, undergoing 7 hours of awake brain surgery, followed by a year of rigorous radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Standard treatment has now come to an end for Katy and the bug in her brain. Now her only viable option is a life-saving treatment called DCVax®-L, not yet available on the NHS or covered by insurance.
Our aim is to help part-fund Katy's treatment, whilst also raising crucial funds for brainstrust.
brainstrust
brainstrust provide personalised support and build resources that help people with a brain tumour and their loved ones live the life they want to after diagnosis.
They work with people in the clinical setting to secure the best possible care for people with a brain tumour and campaign to solve real issues, because they understand the challenges faced by the brain tumour community.
A brain tumour diagnosis is frightening, isolating and has a devastating social impact. brainstrust helps patients, their families and carers to navigate the uncertainties that a diagnosis brings.
Many face mental health, cognition, dexterity and mobility challenges because of either the tumour itself or the treatment, and must learn to accept a new normal which is different to the life they have established. It is a distressing and bewildering experience, and that’s where brainstrust helps.
