Funding Research into Childhood Brain Tumours Brain tumours are now the biggest cancer killer of UK children Alis Dream was launched in June 2001 following the loss of Alison Phelan three weeks before her eighth birthday. Horrified by the lack of funding for research and the prospect that it is unlikely that a cure will be found in the next five years Alisons family and friends set up the charity with the objective of raising funds for research into childhood brain tumours. The trustees have established a paediatric focused scientific and medical advisory board and invite applications for funding via leaflet distribution at relevant conferences and contacting known research units. The charity will fund scientific medical and patient carer qualitative quantitative research in pursuit of their objectives.
