Brighton Marathon 2025 · 6 April 2025 ·

The Brain Tumour Charity's Brighton Marathon team are ready to run towards a better future for everyone diagnosed with a brain tumour. We can't wait to take on the 26.2 mile course through the streets of Brighton on Sunday 6th April 2025.

Story

This year, I’m running a marathon to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research, a cause that has deeply touched my life. Recently, my amazing mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour, a journey that has shaken our family but also brought us closer together.

Tragically, we also lost my beloved auntie and a very close family friend to a sudden brain tumour, a devastating loss that has left a hole in our hearts. Experiencing firsthand the impact of this disease has made me determined to do something meaningful.

Brain tumours are cruel, indiscriminate, and often underfunded in research. By supporting this cause, we can help fund vital studies, provide better treatments, and give hope to families like mine facing the challenges of this condition.

Running a marathon is a tough challenge, but it’s nothing compared to what my mum and others battling brain tumours endure every day. Please, if you’re able, donate whatever you can—every penny counts in the fight against this devastating disease.

Thank you for your generosity and support. Together, we can make a difference.
