Story

Hi all,

Me and my twin are running the 2024 London Marathon for Brain Research UK!

This cause is so incredibly close to our heart, as 4 years ago, our older brother Oliver, was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Since then, he has gone through two brain surgeries and multiple rounds of chemotherapy. We are both committed into raising as much money as possible for Brain Research UK so that the necessary research can be dedicated to help neurological conditions. Brain Research UK fund vital research to increase understanding, improve diagnosis and treatment, and work towards the prevention of neurological conditions, to help people who suffer with them live better, longer.

We are both absolutely terrified but we cannot wait to raise money for this incredible cause. Wish us luck!!!
