GARDENERS can brighten up their flower beds while helping to grow funds for Brain Tumour Research.
The Winnersh Garden Centre is selling a speciality new rose with £2 from each purchase donated to the charity.
TV gardener, Danny Clarke launched the rose which has sunny glossy petals and comes in a pink pot. Danny lost his sister Margot McLellan to glioblastoma, a fast growing and aggressive brain tumour.
Emily Bartholomew, manager at Winnersh Garden Centre, said: “We are delighted to stock the Rose for Hope which will not only provide a beautiful focal point in an outdoor space but ensures that at least £2 of your money will go towards this brilliant cause and help Brain Tumour Research fund world-class research into brain tumours as well as influencing and increasing awareness within the wider public to understand this disease.”
New figures show one in three people know someone who is affected by a brain tumour with them killing more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. It is only with continued funding that Brain Tumour Research are able to invest in finding a cure for all types of brain tumours through campaigning to increase the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million per year.
