Alex's 5km a day for 50 days · 11 August 2015

Brain Tumour Research Verified by JustGiving
RCN 1153487 (England & Wales), SC046840 (Scotland)
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.

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.
