Standing With Ben: A Community Night for the Brain Tumour Charity 💙

We are coming together to support a local man, Ben, in his fight against stage four brain cancer. While Ben isn't a member of our club, his story has deeply touched many of us at MAN v FAT Ipswich, as several of our players have had family members face this same difficult journey.

In September 2025, after suffering from seizures and severe headaches, an MRI revealed a large tumour in Ben's brain. Despite surgery to remove as much as possible, he was diagnosed with incurable stage four cancer. We are determined to help raise as much money as possible for The Brain Tumour Charity, the world’s largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours.

Double the Support: Saturday 16th May 2026
