Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for the Darel Bryan Foundation. 

Throughout January I will be embarking on the biggest Mental/Physical challenge I have ever set myself. I am hoping to raise as much money as possible for the Brain Tumour Research after sadly losing my next door neighbour and family friend Darel.

Brain Tumours kill more adults and children under the age of 40 then any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research is allocated to this disease.  

Darel was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme an extremely aggressive brain tumour in 2014 . Darel bravely fought this cruel disease for 15 months but sadly lost his battle February 26th 2016 at the age of 34. Darel was just one of them guys. No matter who you spoke to it would only be nice words they would have to say about him. With your help, I am hoping to raise as much money as possible which will go to raising more awareness for brain tumours and fund some much needed research for this devastating disease.  

So here’s the challenge... I have challenged myself with running 1 extra mile everyday for the 31 days in January. For example day 1 is 1 mile, day 2 is 2 miles and so on. By the time day 31 comes I would of ran 465 miles in 30 days. I’m not expecting this to be easy one bit, and have already come to terms with there being lots of rocky patches along the way, however, knowing that I’m raising money for this great cause will help me keep plodding along. 

I will be documenting the entire 31 days on my Instagram (macamccann) Feel free to tune in or go one better and come and get a few miles in with us. 

All donations will be greatly appreciated. No matter how big or small. Let’s do this together 🏃🏽‍♂️
