Last year on the 18th of August, Graham Hood, my dad, sadly passed away at the age of 60 after a brave nine month battle against a malignant brain tumour.

On the 28th October 2012 I'll be running 10 miles during the Great South Run in memory of my dad. Please help me raise money for Brain Tumour Research by giving as much as you can.

Brain tumours are a particularly devastating form of cancer with one of the lowest survival rates (only 12% of males diagnosed with a brain tumour and 15% of females survive beyond 5 years, compared with 50% for all cancers). Furthermore, brain tumour research is woefully under-funded and therefore lags significantly behind other cancers. By donating you'll be helping Brain Tumour Research to achieve their goal of raising £7m a year. Click here to find out more details of how that money would be used.

Thanks in advance! Adam
