A CHARITY set up by a couple from Dogmersfield has joined forces with a mobile brain training app.

The Brain Tumour Charity, founded by Neil and Angela Dickson in memory of their daughter, Samantha, who died of a brain tumour in 1996 aged 16, has announced that it will work with Peak to promote its HeadSmart campaign: Be Brain Tumour Aware.

Brain tumours are the leading cause of childhood cancer deaths in the UK, and HeadSmart has helped the average diagnosis time to drop from 12 to 6.7 weeks since its launch in 2011.
