Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have set up this new page and here is the story so far...

Pre-Covid, a Team of us called ourselves Russell's Brainiacs (Hannah, Nick, George & myself) to help raise vital funds for Brain Tumour Research (and run the 2020 London Marathon!). We have already raised a magnificent £20,821 which is incredible and thank everyone for their generosity. 

Obviously, Covid put pay to running the 2020 London Marathon but the time has finally come and in less than 2 weeks time after over 2 years of waiting (and training!) I will actually be running the London Marathon for Team Russell's Brainiacs.

In 2019 Hannah's Dad, Russell Shreeves, was diagnosed with an incurable Grade 4 Glioblastoma and after months of gruelling treatment, including very lengthy neurosurgery & subsequent chemotherapy, sadly and tragically, Russell passed away on Thursday 5th December 2019.

This cruel cancer is the most common and the most aggressive cancer in the age group 45-65 yet only receives 1% of the total money raised for cancer research. If money raised can stop another person from having the same devastating outcome.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
