Why?

To raise money for the Brain Tumour Research

Why Brain Tumour Research?

My Dad died of a Brain Tumour in 2003 when I was 17. I am raising funds for Brain Tumour Research in his memory and in the hope that significant breakthroughs can be made in the treatment of Brain Cancer.

Why now?

The first run was scheduled for 12th September 2021. This would have been my Dads birthday.

What am a looking forward to most in the challenge?

The positive impact of daily exercise in my physical and mental health.

What am I most worried about?

The challenge and relentless of fitting in a 5 kilometre run into my schedule every single day. Getting injured or sick.
