Story

Hi all, I’m running the roads again, this time I’m training for the Dublin Marathon on 28th October. I’m hoping to raise money for the charity Brain Tumour Research in memory of Ria Melvin. Ria passed away in August 2021 at the age of just 25 after being diagnosed in December 2018.

Raising4Ria has been set up as a Brain Tumour Research Fundraising Group by Ria's family to help raise as much money as they possibly can to help fund vital brain cancer research.

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.
