We want to offer emotional and social support, raising awareness about brain cancer and offering hope to those facing it. Your help is crucial, every support is a renewed hope. United for the Brain, Together for Life.

As the Association takes its first steps, we are aware of the challenges inherent to a newly formed entity. We recognize that APCCEREBRO faces financial limitations at this initial stage, but we believe that with your support, we will be able to support patients, family members and/or caregivers, promoting access to a society that is more aware, supportive and informed about this pathology.

Our goal is to raise €10,000 to take the first steps and ensure that APCCEREBRO's work is carried out effectively.

Why do we need your support?

As a newly formed association, we face financial challenges typical of our early days. However, with your support, we can provide:

  • Psychological support : Offer emotional support to patients, family members and caregivers.
  • Education and awareness : Promote information campaigns on the symptoms and available treatments, helping society to better understand this disease.
  • Access to resources and information : Create a network of resources and educational materials for those facing a brain cancer diagnosis.
  • Promoting solidarity and awareness : Working to ensure that society is better informed and united in the fight against this pathology.

Your support can save lives, provide comfort and give hope to those facing a brain cancer diagnosis.

  3. Promote scientific research , establishing bridges between the academic community, health professionals and patients, in order to contribute to advances in the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of affected people.
  4. Build a solid and sustainable base for the Association's operations , focusing on internal organization, raising financial resources and strengthening strategic partnerships.
