Story

I will be taking part in a sponsored 24 hour team spinathon. I will hopefully be cycling for four hours.  On yer bikes, started as a small thing and grew to a way of celebrating Paul’s enthusiasm for a good time and bringing people together.  The first time we did it both Paul and I were in the middle of chemotherapy but Paul's enthusiasm was catching and it was a good distraction from the horrible things that were happening. On yer bikes 2015 will be no different, bringing hope for a cure to the many people affected by Brain Tumours.

Paul kept all us of, medical staff included, amazed by his strength of character and determination to live his life for as long as he could. 

In June 2014, Paul’s quality of life deteriorated and it was time to move to the hospice where Paul had decided he would spend his final days. Paul was set free from this horrible disease on 20 June 2014.

The date of this event is special too, we would have been celebrating Paul’s 38th birthday.


I have over the last few months been touched further by this horrible disease as a childhood friend is also battling the disease. 
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of UK children and adults, 25%of all cancers go to the brain! However only 1% of the national spend on research goes to brain tumour research. Please support   me by donating to help me raise as much as I can for Brain Tumour Research
