Story

I am fundraising for Brain Tumour Research in memory of our friend, Nick. Nick was just 29 years old when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He fought courageously, with his wife Victoria by his side, until his passing at the age of 34. Victoria has been my best friend for 20 years and to see her strength throughout this time has been an inspiration. Watching their twin girls grow up with my daughter is something that brings me everlasting happiness.

I hope to raise money to support families going through these extremely challenging times. My aim is to raise as much as possible for Brain Tumour Research as they are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please support to fund the fight!

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.
