The unfortunate reality is that brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer for children and adults under the age of 40. This fundraiser is for Brain Tumour Research, and more broadly as part of Glenn Campbell's 'Brain Power' fundraiser to help fund long-term research in the UK and to set up a Scottish Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence.

The proposed new centre will bring together scientists from the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow and help them scale up their research and progress promising new therapies into clinical trials. The Scottish centre will form part of a UK wide network with existing centres in London, Surrey and Plymouth.

To raise money, I am running the 80th anniversary D-Day Landings marathon on the 2nd of June in Normandy France.
