Story

On Sunday 10th April I am going to be running the Brighton Marathon, raising money for a great cause, and going through 26 miles of pain ! 

Why am I raising money for Brain Tumour Research...

On the 19th of August 2009 our friend's son, Taylan, passed away at the age of 7. He had been diagnosed with a very rare and inoperable brain tumour the previous year.

His parents, Andy and Figen, have founded Taylan's Project http://www.taylansproject.com/ and are now fundraising for http://www.braintumourresearch.org/ to raise awareness and much needed funds. In the UK more children and people under the age of 40 die of a brain tumour than any other cancer however research into brain tumours receives less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research.

See more about Taylan and the incredible work being done to raise awareness and funds for BrainTumour work at www.taylansproject.com and www.braintumourresearch.org

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.
