Fundraising for Brain Tumour Research
Story
Who is The Boy with the Saucepan Hat?
Dear Supporter,
I was inspired to run the Liverpool Half Marathon for Brain Tumour Research when I came across an article on their Wear a Hat Day (27th March 2020). I've just written a NEW children's book - "The Boy with the Saucepan Hat", which is about a boy who gets a saucepan stuck on his head and I thought it would be great fun to work with Brain Tumour Research, using my funny story to support their cause. I decided to make a donation of £1 per book sold (RRP £5.99) to Brain Tumour Research during February and March 2020. (You can donate £5 to Brain Tumour Research if you buy a SIGNED Copy for £9.99!)
I'm also asking my followers, friends, family and colleagues to donate directly to Brain Tumour Research, here, on this page - so you can choose how to donate.
I lost someone very, very dear to me 17 years ago... and I know from first-hand experience what it's like. I made a decision back then that, if I could, I'd do something every so often to help fund research to tackle these killer diseases and conditions. On March 15th 2020, I have the opportunity to help fight this and fund some research which will, I have no doubt, one day prevent someone, somewhere, going through what my family and I have been through.
Please do what you can - donate as much or as little as you can. It WILL all help.
You can either buy the book (at my web site), or donate here.
- To buy the book, please go to www.TheSaucepanHat.co.uk

BTW I'll be running with a Saucepan on my head at the Liverpool Half Marathon on March 15th 2020 - so watch out on local TV coverage!
Thank you.
Martyn
About the Book - The Boy with the Saucepan Hat
Oliver Todd is a somewhat accident-prone child, aged 10-and-a-half. Whe we wakes up one day with a saucepan stuck on his head, he has no idea how it gor there! So mum and dad take him to the A&E department go get it removed. Despite the doctors' and nurses' best efforts, they can't get it off! Find out what happens, over at www.TheSaucepanHat.co.uk
