We are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research as they are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK.

In April this year, Marc Wilding, a great friend of mine and so many, was diagnosed with terminal Glioblastoma Multiform.

To say this was a devastating diagnosis for him, for his family and for his friends is an understatement.

He has had a craniotomy to get rid of one of the unwelcome bastards, which was successful, however Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy start early June to fight off the inoperable!

We have seen first hand the affects of what this disease can do to a person and whilst Marc is absolutely fighting fit and taking it all in his stride (as those that know him would expect) anything we can do to help this community come up with a cure and further their research for what we know is an aggressive type of cancer, we will do!

Multiple people will take part in multiple events across the next year to raise as much as we possibly can and we appreciate each and every one of you who support us along the way.

My particular challenge will be to run the 84 mile length of Hadrian's wall in 3 days, effectively 3 back to back marathons. I will not be alone though, David Lawrence, Rob young and Adam Goldie will be running as well. We are looking to start the run on the 19th of September.
