Grey May - Brain Tumour Awareness Month 2025

May is Grey May – Brain Tumour Awareness Month – and in 2025, we’re going bigger, bolder, and more determined than ever. The NeuroSurgical Research Foundation (NRF) is calling on Australians to GO GREY in May to raise awareness and critical funds for life-saving brain tumour research. With a fundraising goal of $200,000, your support has never been more vital.

Why GO GREY in May?

Brain tumours are among the most devastating forms of cancer, affecting thousands of Australians each year. Research is underfunded and urgently needed. Every dollar raised during Grey May will go directly toward cutting-edge research that improves survival rates, develops new treatments, and brings hope to those affected.

Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of our community, Grey May 2024 raised a total of $107,000—a record-breaking effort that directly funded critical brain tumour research projects across Australia.

These funds have helped drive forward several key initiatives, including early-stage clinical trials, development of new diagnostic tools, and innovative treatment strategies aimed at improving patient outcomes. The success of last year's campaign proves the power of collective action and the real impact we can make together.

In 2025, we’re aiming even higher—with a new goal of $200,000 to expand our research capacity and bring new hope to patients and families affected by brain tumours.

Munno Para Foodland Supports Grey May 2025

We’re proud to announce that Munno Para Foodland is once again standing with us in the fight against brain tumours. Throughout May, customers can support brain tumour research by purchasing a $2 donation token at the checkout, with all proceeds going directly to the Grey May Appeal.

This year, their support goes even deeper. Andrew, a dedicated employee at Munno Para Foodland, is taking on a powerful personal challenge—he’ll be shaving his head on May 30 in honour of his mum, who has been impacted by a brain tumour. Andrew’s fundraiser is a heartfelt tribute and a powerful reminder of why research matters.

We’re incredibly grateful to Andrew and the entire team at Munno Para Foodland for being such passionate advocates for the cause. Their commitment and community spirit are helping us get closer to our goal of raising $200,000 for vital brain tumour research.
