Thanks for visiting my page, raising money for Brain Tumour Research, in memory of Taylan Rawlinson.

I will be joining a team of 5 on their last leg of cycling 100 miles, The team of 5 will be cycling 700 miles in total, cycling between all seven main brain tumour research centres - Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Nottingham, Bristol, London and Portsmouth. I will be joining them from slough where we will ride to london then onto portsmouth.

Taylan was the beautiful son of Figen and Andy Rawlinsons aged just 7 after battling with a brain tumour for 10 months and is the inspiration behind Taylan’s Project.

Taylan's Project was founded in January 2010, to commemorate Taylan's short and happy life and continue, with his legacy, to help others. As an umbrella group part of Brain Tumour Research, its aim is to raise awareness and much needed funds in order to help find a cure for this devastating illness.

More children and people under the age of 40 die of a brain tumour than from any other form of cancer. With more than 120 different types of tumours requiring different types of treatments, brain tumours are a notoriously difficult disease to diagnose and treat.The fact that research into the cause of brain tumours is underfunded is heartbreaking and the progress is unfortunately very slow, with just 14% of sufferers surviving beyond five years (compared to over 50% for all other cancers). Brain tumours can occur in anyone but are increasingly affecting the younger population.
