VAF (Veronica Araba Fynn) Brain Tumour Foundation was formed following the death of our mother Veronica Araba Fynn also known as Veronica Sarpong-Duah. She battled with brain tumour for nearly a year but sadly, passed away on 12th September 2016. We needed both physical and emotional support during her illness and even more after her death but unfortunately there was none available to us.

It is too late for our family but certainly not late for other families who may be going through similar situations. We know how challenging it is for patients to live with the disease and the effects it has on their families.

VAF Brain Tumour Foundation was formed to support patients live a healthier, longer life and a sound mind with the hope of a brighter tomorrow. According to the Cancer Research UK, 10981 new cases of brain tumour were reported in 2014 and nearly half of these lost their lives with a survival rate of only 14%. There are therefore numerous families losing their loved ones to brain tumour due to lack of support. More than half of these losses could have been prevented.

We will be supporting the physical and emotional needs of both the patients and their families in the UK, Africa and the rest of the world.
