Story
I lost my dear sister, Emma, to a brain tumour in 2003. She was just 32.
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40 yet less than 3% of the annual £600m spent on cancer in the UK is spent on brain tumours. This has to change.
Brain tumours are brutal and notoriously difficult to treat. Research is expensive but it is the only way to ever find a cure and kinder treatments.
To raise vital funds, I'll be taking on the ultimate 'Trophy Swim' by continuous swimming the 42.8 mile length of Lake Geneva. Only 7 people have ever completed this before.
100% of all donations received will go to The Brain Tumour Charity. All costs associated to my swim are very kindly and very generously being covered by Investment and Wealth Management Company JM Finn (https://www.jmfinn.com) for which I am exceptional grateful for. I will be paying all associated travel and accommodation costs myself also.
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, they are moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour. Set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change, they understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour, a cure really can't wait.
