Ellie and Nigel's Adidas Silverstone Half Marathon 2014 page
Eleanor Parkes is raising money for Brain Tumour Research
Team: Remembering Simon Turton
In memory of Simon Turton
Story
On 2nd March we are running the Silverstone Half Marathon in aid of Brain Tumour Research.
This will be Ellie's 10th half marathon and Nigel's first half marathon. Nigel doesn't really enjoy running all that much unless there is a football involved! So although it's only a half it's a decent goal for him!
We are running for BTR in memory of our friend Simon Turton (see the SimonSays page http://www.justgiving.com/teams/simon-says) who sadly died in 2011 at the age of 36; and in support of the battle faced by Ellie's cousin Edward who was diagnosed with a brain tumour just over a year ago. After lengthy and extremely challenging treatment he is winning his battle.
Currently research into brain tumours receives less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research, despite more children and adults under 40 dying of a brain tumour than any other cancer.
