So here we are a year on from the start of our fundraising page and the journey continues!

We thought it would be a great idea to add another challenge to our lives and throw in a half marathon!

Cardiff Half Marathon on Sunday 6th October.

Max, Kelly, Smithy and Jody (AKA Plate), will be taking on the Diff in aid of Brain Tumour Research.

As always everyones support and kindness is greatly appreciated and we will continue to raise awareness and funds for all those effected.

Big love to you all

The Humour Before Tumour Team

Max's Story ♥

As most of you will know my dearest Friend Max was hit out of the blue with a life changing event.

No symptoms, no crucial signs of anything wrong but back in November a seizure at our Gym car park changed everything.

Max is a 'cup half full' rather than a 'cup half empty' kind of girl and through this whole journey she has blown us away with her resilience and positivity. We are all so very fortunate to call her our Friend and we are all so grateful to the Team who kept our amazing Friend on this planet ♥

From Max ♥

When I woke up from surgery to remove a brain tumour I promised myself that I would do something to raise money for the incredible team of people, surgeons and nurses who helped me live. I know that only 1% of funding for cancer research is allocated for brain tumours yet brain tumours kill nearly half of all people they affect. I am determined to raise money to help fund further research. I just feel so lucky to be here and forever grateful to the medical professionals, friends and family who saved my life.

We are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research as they are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please help me fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.

It costs £2740 per day to fund Brain Tumour research so hence the 274 miles and fundraising target of £274 to support 10% of this cost. Fingers crossed we might be able to support a full days research with everyone’s kindness and generosity.

Its going to be an interesting August! Wish me luck attempting to find cycling routes that only turn left, downhill! (Max is currently struggling to process turning right!) Ensuring Max wears the appropriate safety clothing and not just leopard print street wear and bugging as many people as we can to donate pennies to keep us on our bikes and tallying up the miles!

We'll be joined by lots of Friends to support this amazing cause and hope our efforts make a difference to someone else's life.

See you on the other side

Max and Kelly xxxx
