Sadly earlier this year, Tom Hill, a friend of mine and Laura's passed away following a long hard battle with several brain tumours.

Tom and I were the same age, born on exactly the same day and it was so sad to see the effects of the brain tumour on him and for it to ultimately take his life far too early, leaving his lovely new wife and sweet young daughter behind.

For Tom's memory I am therefore doing the Ride100 for Brain Tumour Research as this was Tom's chosen charity. Any donations that you are willing to give will be kindly received and be put to good use by the charity.

Tom's family have also set up a page in his memory, where they are also collecting for Brain Tumour Research:

You may not be aware but brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable!

Brain Tumour Research are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please help me fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.
