Story

We are taking part in a challenge during the month of May to raise money for the vital work that Brain Tumour Research does. This is a cause extremely close to our hearts and we are doing this fundraising in support of of our colleague Traci and her family, who's husband was unfortunately diagnosed with a brain tumour. 

Each member of the team are committing to run / jog a total of 26 miles during May, with one member completing their first ever Marathon!

The Team

Katie Seabrook, Cassie Cherry, Peter Holt, Paul Waite, Carl Meyler, Sarah Morrell, Sarah Searle, Claire Powell, Teresa Gundry and Simon Thorne.

Brain Tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. We're helping Brain Tumour Research to fund continuous and sustainable research whilst influencing the government and larger charities to invest more nationally.

This fundraising will help them:

- Discover more about the origins and behaviours of high-grade
brain tumours

- Identify mutations in low-grade brain tumours that
dangerously accelerate tumour growth

- Repurpose existing drugs in order to increase options for
targeting brain tumours in children and adults

Please give what you can and let's keep research working!

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.
