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.

Sadly, I lost my dad, Bruce King to a cancerous brain tumour on the 26th August 2002 after a long courageous battle.
He was a healthy man, who lived a clean life, rarely drank and never smoked, he was just unlucky.
He dedicated his working life, saving the lives of others as a London Fire fighter for 27 years, retiring early at the young age of 52 due to medical reasons...it seems ironic that when his own life needed saving, there wasn't a single person on this earth who could help!
He ran the London Marathon on three occasions and it has been a personal ambition of mine to achieve this at least once in my lifetime. I intend to fundraise for The Brain Tumour charity in his memory and continue to try and support other families who are sadly going through this horrendous ordeal.
Please help me to make this possible.
God bless and thank you!
