Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In June 2012 my wife Karen was diagnosed with a glomus jugular tumour.

The only treatment was surgery, which although it would remove the tumour would leave her deaf in her left ear and came with a number of other potential side-effects - one of which was the possibility of facial palsy/facial paralysis to some degree.

A journey of 1000 (or 26!) miles starts with a single step. My marathon 'first step' came when Karen and I attended a Facial Palsy UK support group after her surgery - I was so moved by the courage & kindness of the people we met  that I knew I had to do something to support them.
