Brain Tumour UK has merged with The Brain Tumour Charity to become the UK's largest dedicated brain tumour charity. We fund research and offer support and information to those affected whilst raising awareness and influencing policy.

Story

HELLO and welcome to Bee and Tee’s fundraising extravaganza!

Should anyone need final confirmation that we are completely and utterly crackers, here's it comes... 

We are told there is a convenient and regular service from London to Paris via the Eurostar, however, we felt that the only road to take to Paris was the one less travelled – and that would mean travelling there by BIKE! This will take us 300 miles, 4 days, a lot of sweat, tears and maybe some blood too…

There is no doubt that this will be a mammoth physical and emotional challenge, not to mention a good test of our friendship – we can already hear the banter – cries of ‘toughen up princess’ and ‘keep it movin’ lard ass’ will be necessary shout outs to help get us both there in record time.

Now for the serious side to this ride…

Tee: As some of you will know, in the spring last year my 30 year old brother was diagnosed with a brain tumour, since then we’ve been on a bumpy ride, with operations, numerous scans, and worst of all, the waiting. One of the hard parts of being a family member of someone who is sick is the feeling that you can’t do anything to help.

By doing this ride we are taking a little control back by supporting Brain Tumour UK, who are dedicated to improving the life of adults & children affected by brain tumours, and to establish the causes of and finding a cure for the disease. They fund many programmes for research, support, education and awareness.

So whilst we are training our butts off, we would like you to donate what you can to support us. Be it a pound or loads of them, we’ll be forever grateful.
