Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have chosen to run for Ali's Dream as brain tumours are one of the biggest cancer killers of children in the UK. It was brought to my attention by Ali's grandparents and I have supported them since.

Ali's Dream charity was set up by Alison Phelan's family and friends to raise funds for research into discovering the causes, advancing treatments and finding a cure for childhood brain tumours.

Sadly this was spurred on by the loss of Alison at the beginning of June 2001, three weeks before her eighth birthday. Ali was diagnosed with a brain tumour in August 2000. Her family did not give up hope, exploring many avenues to find their miracle cure. They discovered that there is very little research being undertaken in this particular cancer area. The chances of finding a cure in the next five years are very remote. What's more, after accidents, brain tumours are now the biggest cancer killer of children under fifteen.

By raising money to aid research, hopefully one day a cure will be found.
