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

Story

Brain tumours kill 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. This is unacceptable!

I am 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.

Unfortunately, my brother in law’s father passed away in 2023 and I would like to raise money in honour of him. He was a fabulous man who left behind a beautiful family.

I ran this even back in 2014 and said I'd never do it again (it broke me mentally and physically)! However, I've matured and believe I can enjoy the run this time around.

So with your help and support, I'd like to make a difference and your charitable donations will spur me on to smash the 26 miles of tarmac!

Thanks and much love
