Story

Hello!

My good colleague and pal Glenn Campbell was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year and has thrown himself into fundraising for the charity Brain Tumour Research.

I've decided to run the Edinburgh Marathon in May to try and raise some funds towards this goal as part of his Brain Power fundraising team.

Funds raised by our Brain Power Team are being donated to Brain Tumour Research for the purpose of establishing a Scottish Brain Tumour Research Centre of Excellence.

I'm quite a keen runner, but by that I mean I like the odd 10k. I've only ever done one marathon back in 2015....and I didn't enjoy it and swore never to do another.

So this is a genuinely big challenge for me that's requiring a lot of training, effort and time.

If you can spare some cash at the moment to sponsor me I'd really appreciate it. Glenn has set a very ambitious target in his fundraising and I'd love to be able to contribute to making a bit of a dent in it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. And if you have any marathon tips please send them my way.

David
