Brain Tumour Research Firewalks 2023
Campaign by Brain Tumour Research (RCN England and Wales 1153487, Scotland SC046840)
I am doing a firewalk for Brain Tumour Research to help find a cure because one in three people know someone affected by this devastating disease.

Story

I was diagnosed in 2010 with a benign meningioma that was the size of a grapefruit.  I was informed that they would never be able to fully remove it and it could grow back.  In 2016 it done just that and I was operated on again in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.  This followed with a round of Radiotherapy in The Beatson.  In April 2022 after waking every morning for a couple of weeks feeling hungover I contacted my consultant.  He arranged and urgent MRI and I was admitted in August for another brain operation.  Followed by a strong 1 off does of stereotactic radiotheraphy.  I can't thank the medical staff enough for all the great care I have been given over the years.I am truly grateful to still be here and I am looking forward to raising money to help in Brain Tumour Research.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.
