<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">A close friend of mine, tragically lost his wife to a brain tumour last summer. She was diagnosed with a GBM (<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Glioblastoma multiforme</span> – which is the most common and most aggressive brain tumour in humans) in the Summer of 2009 and died twelve months later leaving three kids (youngest is 6 years old). Since her passing away, Colin has thrown himself into raising funds for Brain cancer research and has set up a charity called Headcase Cancer Trust, for which Ronnie Irani has become the patron. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">Headcase has an initial objective of raising £30,000 year on year to fund research into GBM’s. Colin met with Professor Geoff Pilkington who is the UK’s leading Neuro-Oncologist in the field of brain tumour research. The £30,000 will pay for PhD research in one of Geoff’s laboratories at Universities across the UK. PhD research is absolutely key in helping to find a cure for GBM’s. The reason for funding PhD research year on year is that this person could just be the one that makes a significant breakthrough! </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">I am planning to walk coast to coast across the width of England (from Newcastle Upon Tyne to Carlisle along Hadrians Wall) over the bank holiday weekend at the end of May in order to raise funds for ‘Headcase Cancer Trust’. If you are able to sponsor me please do so as all contributions will be gratefully received.</span></span></p>
