About our charity : Hammer Out Hammer Out
Hammer Out is a registered charity that supports people with brain tumours and their families. Established in 2002, we are based in Thornbury, near Bristol and now have a committed team working towards raising awareness of brain tumours and the devastating effects that they have on both patients and those who love them. As well as offering a personalised support package, agreed with patients and their families, we also raise money to fund vital research into this incurable form of cancer. We aim to support children and adults across the South West region who are affected by brain tumours. To date, we have raised over £400,000 and currently support 80 families across the region.

Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - The walk was completed in 23 hours 55minutes on a sunny day in Deal! Please tell your friends that the site is remaining open for a while.  My sore feet must be worth a few pounds...

We are sad to tell you that friends of ours lost their ten year old granddaughter on New Years Eve, after a brave fight against a brain tumour.

It is difficult to envisage anything positive in a situation such as this.  I have decided to do a 'walk' in aid of Hammer Out.  The aim is to raise money to allow some children with a brain tumour to spend a little quality time with their family (probably by the seaside).

In 'THE LONG WALK HOME', I will attempt to walk a mile for every year of my life - 62 in total - in twenty four hours.  This distance is not guaranteed, but I am determined!

If you would like to contribute to this cause in memory of our friends' granddaughter, you can do so on this site.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Hammer Out will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Please donate generously.

Many thanks for your support.
