Our Work

When Mike Mason was diagnosed with his illness he didnt know where to turn to for help. He also realised how much his family needed support as well as himself. Thinking of others, he set up the Thorne Mason Trust in order to provide more support and information for
people in Pembrokeshire who were affected by a
brain tumour or cancer, raise awareness and raise funding for research into brain tumours, an illness that had hit his family more than once.

The Thorne Mason is also raising money to fund vital research into brain tumours. We have recently become members of Brain Tumour Reserach UK, working together with 18 other charities to provide support and funding for brain tumours across the UK. This has helped us to obtain the latest information so that we can share it with people in Pembrokeshire who are affected by Brain Tumours and raise awareness across our county.

We are hoping to make a significant contribution to brain tumour research in the near future supporting the `Wall of Hope' appeal which aims to raise £1m for research at the Brain Tumour Research centre of excellence at the University of Portsmouth. The wall marks the launch of Brain Tumour Research's national £7m `Centres of Hope' fundraising campaign to raise £7m for seven centres of excellence to get seven times closer to finding a cure for brain tumours.
