Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Last year two people in my local area sadly passed away due to a brain tumour. Furthermore my friend's mother was also diagnosed this March.

Because of Stu Ridley (#staystrongStu), Rhya Story (heart4rhya) and my friends mother, it has made me become scarily aware of how common brain tumours are, especially for people under the age of 40, as well as how little the government funds brain tumours research. So I have decided to help raise awareness and money for brain tumour research by doing a 10,000 ft skydive at the age of 16; as I feel this charity is something that is very close to my heart and many others in my area because we were all hit very hard after these two young amazing people sadly passed away. I also think it would mean a lot to the close friend's and family of these people I have mentioned, as well as others that are going through the same or similar experience.

I would greatly appreciate a donation to this amazing charity, but even if you don't I'm great full that you have read this message.

Thank you, Darcy Russell x
