This year I am running with my family and friends in memory of my Uncle Brian. For anyone who knew him, you will know how passionate he was in every aspect of his life not least this Great Scottish Run. Now there is no way I can match him in running the half marathon but I can run the 10k raising as much money as I can to help the Brain Tumour Charity who supported Uncle B throughout his illness.

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, 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.
