Story
You have landed in a wonderful place, likely because of your shared love for our incredible Adam! Let me give you a little back story into our why...
In May 2012, Adam was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma brain tumour, very soon after celebrating his 18th birthday. Over a period of 4 years, he underwent a very long course of treatments, including multiple brain surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I have never seen a strength like it.
We sadly lost Adam on the 5th of July, 2016 after a long and difficult battle. His bravery is something I think we all carry forward in our lives one way or another, I couldn’t aspire to have his strength more!
As some of you may know, Adam would be turning the BIG 30 in April 2024, and so to mark his special birthday, we hope you will join us for a year to remember!
We are planning a series of challenges & events across the whole of 2024, open for all to get involved - there will be something for everybody to choose from!
This page will act as a collective group donation site for everybody who gets involved across the different events.
You can find all the details about the events we have planned over at our Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/309974374814772.

Why the Brain Tumour Charity...
As some of you will know, after a long battle, we lost Adam to a brain tumour in 2016. Adam was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioblastoma brain tumour in May 2012, very soon after celebrating his 18th birthday. Over a period of 4 years, he underwent a very long course of treatment, including multiple brain surgeries, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and I have never seen strength like it.
We sadly lost Adam on the 5th of July, 2016 after a long and hard battle, his bravery is something I think we all carry forward in our lives one way or another, I couldn’t aspire to have his strength more!
We have chosen to support The Brain Tumour Charity to help raise funds needed to help provide the research needed to ensure, that one day nobody loses their life or a loved one to this disease again.
The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, we're moving further, and faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour.
We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And we're doing it right now. Because we understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait.
