Story

I met Brad nearly 40 years ago when he was 10 and I was 16 on his farm having popped in with his brother who was my mate. We hit it off immediately and were friends ever since. We even shared  a flat together for several years in our twenty's, during which time Brad introduced me to my wife Debra - he meant the world to us! We were devastated when he phoned us to tell us he had brain cancer and distraught when he passed away just 10 months later after an incredibly brave battle.

When cancer took him, Brad, was happily married with two wonderful young boys - fit, healthy and vibrant he lived life like each day was his last - A great friend, wonderful husband and an unbelievable father taken in his prime. Please find it in your heart to support my mission - Bradders will be with me every step of the 26 miles in spirit and I am sure we will have many laughs along the way.

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
