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

<p>On 4th May I will be one of some 500 runners (individuals and teams) taking on 2,600 miles around Great Britain.</p> <p>I will be participating in this effort to break the world record for the most consecutive marathons ever completed. The marathons will be completed in 'relay' fashion, through the day and through the night, one day after another, all across Britain until the record is broken. I am running with a group of friends and we will collectively run the first leg from Buckingham Palace to Gravesend.</p> <p>The marathons will be run to raise money for Brain Tumour UK, a charity committed to providing personal support to brain tumour patients, funding research to identify better treatments, and raising awareness about the illness.</p> <p>Brain tumours kill more young women than breast cancer, they kill more young men than prostate cancer and they take more children's lives than any other form of cancer. Two people every hour are diagnosed with a brain tumour.</p> <p>New and better treatments are desperately needed. WE HAVE TO DO MORE. That's why everyone running in the relay want to support Brain Tomour UK to continue with the work they do every day to make this happen!</p> <p>Any donation would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
