Thank you for visiting my just giving page!

After losing a friend of mine on my University course to a head injury following a car accident and losing my uncle to an aggressive brain cancer, Brain Research Trust has become a charity very close to my heart and I have decided to participate in the Paris Marathon to raise money. 

Brain Research Trust funds much needed research into some of the 250 brain and neurological diseases and conditions that affect over 2 million people in the UK. The research is carried out at the world–renowned neurological research centre, UCL’s Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London. Some of the diseases and conditions that are researched there are:

Alzheimer’s disease – Most common form of dementia affecting around 500,000 in the UK.

Parkinson’s disease – 27 people are diagnosed with Parkinson’s each day.

Multiple Sclerosis – 85,000 people in the UK have MS

Motor Neurone Disease – Every day 3 people die of MND.

Brain Tumours – About 3,500 people are diagnosed with one each year in England and Wales.

Stroke – In any one year 100,000 people will have their first stroke.

Migraine – a migraine attack can last between 4 hours and 3 days.

Serious Head Injury – The most common cause of death amongst young people.

Epilepsy – At least 300,000 people in the UK have epilepsy (40 million worldwide).
