Raising money for

Hammer Out

Charity Registration No. 1102750

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.

My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

As many of you will be aware, I lost my mother to a series of brain tumours which she valiantly battled with for 5 years. Hammer out is a fundraising group which aims to raise awareness and provide support to those whose lives are affected by brain tumours. To help raise funds to support this organisation, I have decided to complete my first Triathlon in July 2009 at Dorney Lake.

Somehow, I have to swim 750 metres (in a lake!), then cycle 20kms and then run 5kms to complete my mission. Wish me luck!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hammer Out gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your support.
