Story

So this year in a moment of madness (or actually several moments of madness) I've signed up to do Ride London (100 mile bike ride around London and Essex) in May and London to Brighton cycle in June.  After these two I'll also be joining in with the annual Smile of Arran walk around the Isle of Arran in August.  Whilst we're there for the walk I'm also going to take a day off walking and cycle all around the outside of the island

So I'd like to ask anyone who's interested to drop me a pound or two at any point over the course of this year - it's on justgiving so all the money will go straight to the charity and you'll be supporting a great charity run by a lovely group of people.

The Smile of Arran Trust is a brain tumour charity that was set up in memory of an extraordinary and inspiring young man Arran Tosh who lost his life to a brain tumour at age 13.  Their aim is to make a difference to children and their families whose lives have been affected by a brain tumour.

Please take a look at their website - https://smileofarran.org/

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1161262
The Smile of Arran Trust is a children's brain tumour charity that was set up in memory of an extraordinary and inspiring young man Arran Tosh who lost his life to a brain tumour at age 13 In furthering the charities objects, we have partnered with two national charities. Firstly to provide funding for brain tumour and brain cancer research, the Brain Tumour Charity has created the Smile of Arran Fund that supports pioneering research to find new treatments, improve understanding, increase survival rates and bring us closer to a cure. Our primary goal is to provide financial assistance to children and their families that have been affected by a brain tumour. It is only in going through the trauma of losing a child to a brain tumour that you begin to understand some of the diverse issues surrounding children and families affected by brain tumours or brain cancer. To this end, our partnership with Young Lives Vs Cancer and the Arran’s Grant, is to provide financial assistance to children and their families whose life has been affected by a brain tumour. We additionally support local communities by providing funding for Music Therapy at Addenbrooke's hospital, Cambridge and the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity. The Smile of Arran is now dedicated to fundraising and awarding grants for music therapy to assist children's recovery in hospital
