Story

I am walking 99miles throughout November to raise money for the amazing charity ‘Brain Tumour Research’.

On the 3rd September I was diagnosed with a large rare tumour on my skull base, I had a biopsy on the 2nd of October and results are still coming back inconclusive. Further tests are being done on the biopsy as we speak at Royal Marsden Hospital and fingers crossed I’m going to get the most positive outcome!

I never thought in a million years that I would find myself facing a brain tumor. It’s surreal to think about how life can change so unexpectedly.

The last couple of months have been very difficult and challenging not just for me but my family too but just trying to remain positive and that’s why this month I’m walking 99miles to focus on my mental and physical health and raise some money for an amazing cause.

Thank you for reading, much love Syd xxx
