My story

 

Every penny raised will go to finding a cure for brain tumours like the one that I suffered. It will also help raise awareness of the benefits of exercise for physical and mental health, as I show how I exercised to beat the depression that the tumour caused.

The Ironman challenge is one I never even knew about, let alone considered! Now I know and am daunted, but excited to prove how far I have come since the first headaches that were the tumour.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Brain Research Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
