Each year in the East of England approximately 40 children are diagnosed with a brain tumour. £1000 provides a child and their family with mental health support for one year, we are therefore fundraising to support all 40 children for one year and aim to raise £40,0000. 2021 is our tenth anniversary year and we have 100 runners in the Cambridge Half Marathon Event. Together they will raise enough money to support all 40 children diagnosed in one year in the East of England. A brain tumour is a devastating diagnosis and one which requires vital mental health support from the point of diagnosis for the child and their family. This immediate support will change the life and outcome of the child.

This is my first half marathon and having only recently got fit enough to run 5k again, this distance is going to be quite a challenge for me!
