Why donate to Charlotte’s BAG rather than a big charity? It’s a fair question, and one I’m often asked. Charlotte’s BAG was created in memory of my beautiful daughter, Charlotte, who was diagnosed with a brain tumour aged just 16 and sadly died from a grade 4 glioblastoma aged 19. Behind this charity is a mum who knows first hand the devastation a brain tumour diagnosis brings to a family. I know what it means to desperately want more time, better treatments and a future for your child. That is why I continue to fight for the research that is so desperately needed. We may be a small, self-funding charity, but we have a very clear purpose. 100% of donations  go directly to brain tumour research in Charlotte’s Lab at King’s College Hospital, London. We don't have a large organisation behind us it's just Miles, my son & I. We rely on the generosity of individuals, families and businesses who believe in what we are trying to achieve. When you support Charlotte’s BAG, you are helping fund research while keeping Charlotte’s name and story alive. Every donation contributes to our mission of improving the future for people affected by brain tumours. This isn't about saying that big charities don't do important work. They do. But smaller charities can offer a very direct connection between the people who donate, the cause they care about and the work they want to support. For me, this is personal. Charlotte was my daughter. I cannot change what happened to her, but I can continue to do everything I can to help other families facing the same devastating diagnosis. We might be small, but our ambition is not. To date we have raised £413,683k If you are thinking about donating to a brain tumour charity, please consider Charlotte’s BAG. Your support means more research, more hope and a lasting legacy for a beautiful girl who deserved so much more time. Thank you for helping me keep Charlotte’s legacy alive.
