In Between Ears
Set up by our good friend Jay after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. “In between ears was setup to bring young adults between the ages of 19 and 35 together. All the support groups I attended were aimed the older generation and consisted of mainly coffee mornings, I want to set a more social event experience. This is my charity for young adults with brain tumours/brain cancer and provide not only support, but a social community.” Jay sadly passed away in 2002.
