BTAA Advocate Program
Become a BTAA Brain Tumour Advocate
People affected by brain tumours bring an experience and perspective that can help shape better research, care and support. The BTAA Advocate Program provides practical information and tools to help you share your story, engage with decision-makers and advocate for change in a way that feels right for you.
You can be involved whether you attend Head to the Hill in person, meet or write to your local MP, or advocate from home.
