Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have lived with a brain tumour for exactly ten years when it was discovered. Actually I had been living with it for a lot longer as it was nearly a quarter the size of my brain. I had an operation to reduce its size and a course of chemotherapy six years ago when it had grown back.
Now I have found out that it is growing again and have started another six to nine month course of chemotherapy.
Rather than sitting at home twiddling my thumbs, I have decided to do something positive. The Brain Tumour Charity not only helps those with a tumour, but it also funds pioneering research in the causes of and treatments for brain tumours (www.thebraintumourcharity.org). They receive no government funding at all.
I am hoping to be able to complete the walk but my brother, Nick, will be walking with me so that he can finish it on my behalf.
