Story

As some of you will know my brother (Matt) was diagnosed in September last year with a very aggressive form of brain cancer. Matt has undergone two rounds of brain surgery (in September 2014 and May 2015), radiotherapy and is currently on his second round of chemotherapy. He is truly the most inspirational person I know and best big brother you could ask for.

I am going to run a minimum of 5km a day for the next 50 consecutive days, for Brain Tumour Research. Come rain, hail, wind and the occasional bit of sun (this is a true Scottish summer) I shall be donning my running gear and running for Matt. As you will know I am not built to be a natural born runner therefore this challenge is really going to test me, but knowing that this will raise important money will keep me going.
