We fund long-term, sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours

Story

Over four weekends between 28th of April and 18th of May, I will undertake four challenges across Scotland England and Wales, to raise much needed funds to share between Brain Tumour Research and Kilbryde Hospice

These two charities are extremely close to my heart as over the past 15 years, I have lost four members of my family, My Mum, sister Angie, nephew Max and cousin David to Glioblastoma Brain Tumours.

Donations to Brain Tumour Research will allow them to continue their much-needed research into this horrible condition which kills more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

Please help me fund the fight.

The four challenges are:

Sunday 28th April, Glasgow Kiltwalk, 14.2 Mile Big Stroll

Saturday 4th May, Ben Nevis climb, 4413 ft

Saturday 11th May, Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa climb, 3560 ft

Saturday 18th May, Derwent Water swim, 4600m

Any donations are very much appreciated.
