Story
Meet George…George is 12 years old and quite simply a star. Kind, talented, funny and a glass half full approach George always makes me smile and I know I speak for everyone who meets him when I say that. George was also diagnosed with a rare and inoperable brain tumour 2 years ago. He has since undergone emergency brain surgery to relieve pressure on parts of the brain surrounding the tumour, a brain biopsy and 30 rounds of radiotherapy to-date but at this point it seems he will continue to need further medical investigations and care from the specialist teams across the UK. Since treatment for his particular tumour isn't available for children in Cornwall the family are having to travel to Bristol Royal Hospital for Children and University College London Hospital many times in order for him to receive the care he needs and this situation is set to continue long-term for George.I was lucky enough to get a London Marathon ballot place and rather than run for one of the charities I’ve chosen to raise money for George and his unbelievably amazing family. The financial impact on them is huge so any money will go to raising valuable funds for his treatment which may involve travelling even further afield. Dig deep people… George’s Journey fund deserves every valuable penny.
By doing this directly for George and his family every penny (less a small fee) will go to them.

1 year agoMeet the fabulous Lox (11) and Tristan (9) They love George and his brother Joey very much. They have been inspired by the fundraising so far and they want to see if they can help raise the George’s Journey total to £10k. They said they will do 5000 backflips each over a month (150 a day). If you can please support them doing a great thing to raise as much as they can for their best friend.

1 year agoGeorge’s Journey Update…on Wednesday I completed my longest run of 20 miles. It was tough but worth every ounce of energy and pain to help raise money for the inspirational George 💕We are now over 14 times the original target. This is making a huge difference to the options available for George and his family so thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for your incredible generosity. Theres still time to donate. And don’t forget the lovely Mika is doing her bit too by running a mile a day in April for extra funds 🥰 #bemoregeorge
