Story

Thank you for coming to our page! 

Jess W's Mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year. We are on a mission to raise £10,000 to help a fantastic charity do even more spectacular work.

Despite their severity only 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to brain tumours. Brain Tumour Research is working to change this.

Our personal mission will culminate with running the London Marathon 2024. 

Our first challenge saw us right 150km ride around Hyde Park on a tandem bike. 6hrs and 52 minutes of riding time!  

Now that we have hit the £10,000 mark and beyond, the brain costume is finished and we are weeks away from running! 

Thanks to all your help, the Brain is Running!

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.
