Story

Now that my legs have finally recovered from last year, I am running my second half marathon in support of Nerve Tumours UK, a cause close to my heart. During my studies, a lot of my focus has been centred on nerve tumour conditions, which are genetic conditions affecting the nervous system, causing variable symptoms in different parts of the body. Nerve Tumours UK provide crucial support to individuals affected by these. Now, my final year dissertation will be researching the healthcare experiences of individuals with Neurofibromatosis type 1, starting this September. 

There are currently 26,500 people with Neurofibromatosis in the UK. Funds raised will help Nerve Tumours UK maintain their network of specialist Neurofibromatosis nurses across the UK, who provide direct support to individuals and their families, including through school visits and telephone helplines. 

I am grateful to Never Tumours UK for giving me the option to run locally and supporting me throughout the registration and funding. They also give the option to complete a variety of challenges to help them fundraise, if anyone is interested to take on a challenge and feel great at the same time.

Please spare a few pounds to help me bolster their support!
