Story

A year ago my wonderful Dad, Allan Jordan, was diagnosed with a Stage 4 Brain Tumour and our lives were turned upside down. At 08.05 am on 13th March, my hero passed away from this brutal disease. He was only 68.

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 but are woefully underfunded. Less than 3% of the annual £600m spent on cancer in the UK is spent on this cancer and this has to change.

I want to do all I can to stop other families going through the pain, distress and nightmare that Dad, my family and I went through with my Dad's diagnosis, treatment and passing. To raise vital funds for The Brain Tumour Charity, I'm going to be shaving off all of my hair on Tuesday 13th April. 

This date is also my birthday and it will certainly be a very different one this year, without Dad. If you can, please donate to my fundraiser.
