My story
Thank you for visiting our Brain Tumour Research page.
Over the past 7 months we have been training hard for Ironman Lanzarote 19th May 2012 - just days away!
If you are not familiar with Iron distance events, we have to swim 2.4 miles (in the sea), followed by a bike ride of 112 miles (yes, Lanzarote is very hilly), then as if that isn’t enough we finish after running 26.2 miles (and yes, that’s a full Marathon)... The pro’s will complete this mean feat in around 8 hours 30 minutes, but the rest of the 1600 competitors have 17 hours to complete the course (no medal if you a take a second longer).
We have increased the intensity over the past few months, each clocking up hundreds of miles per month on the bike (we have lost count of how many flats), and running upwards of 50 miles per week – and yes, we are still working full time… training has been before work, lunchtime, after work, with the long stuff at the weekends - regardless of how wet and cold it's been!
Why Brain Tumour Research?
Too many people are being faced with the devastating diagnosis each year: brain tumours kill more children and people under the age of forty than any other cancer and five year survival remains the same as it did thirty years ago.
* 16,000 people each year in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour
* Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of UK children
* More people under 40 die of a brain tumour than from any other cancer
* Only 12% of males diagnosed with a brain tumour and 15% of females survive beyond 5 years (compared with 50% for all cancers)
Thanks for all of your support, it will keep us going when the going gets tough.
