We fund long-term, sustainable research to find a cure for brain tumours

Story

My wife, Emma, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2019 which turned our lives upside-down, putting our wedding plans on hold and sending us on a journey to understanding this horrible disease. Soon after her diagnosis, Emma underwent surgery, followed by rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, in order to reduce the size of her tumour and take this fight head on. Her tumour is now stable, and the work that Brain Tumour Research does gets us closer to finding a cure. 

My brother-in-law, Jack,  and I have decided to run the TCS London Marathon 2024 in order to raise money for Brain Tumour Research and the amazing work that they do. Any donation, big or small, will help to keep us motivated during our training and reach our fundraising target for this amazing charity.

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.
