Event: Life Cycle 4: The four corners of Great Britain, from 15 August 2014 to 30 August 2014
We undertake critical brain tumour research to improve survival rates across the World.

Story

Worldwide, over 30,000 children each year are diagnosed with cancer of the brain and central nervous system.  In the UK, brain tumours are the largest cause of children's cancer deaths, yet only 2% of cancer research funding has been focussed on this area.  Real progress is being made in diagnosing earlier and improving survival rates but there is so much more that our leading edge researchers want to do.  That's why I'm cycling 1400 miles to the four corners of Britain.

This year I will ride in honour of Charlie Dodds. Charlie's short life ended tragically when he developed this terrible condition.

Your support will help to diagnose conditions like Charlie's much earlier and increase the chances of survival into adulthood.

Thank you for your support. You can follow the team's journey on Twitter @UoNLifeCycle and on the Vice-Chancellor's daily blog: http://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/lifecycle/
