Beachy Head Marathon · 27 September 2008

Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust funds scientific and clinical research into childhood and adult brain tumours, and offers support and information to patients and their carers. We have been working to improve understanding, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours since the charity was set up in 1996 by Samantha's parents, Neil and Angela Dickson. We now spend around £1.3 million per year on brain tumour research and support, making us the largest brain tumour charity in the UK.

Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I am running my first marathon on 25th October!!! Only this is not a normal marathon - think of the London Marathon.......then think of climbing Mount Snowdon. Combine the two and you've got the Beachy Head marathon. 26 miles of pure torture over the South Downs with a total climb of over 3500 feet.

The big question is WHY????

The answer is easy - it's all for charity. Specifically the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust - a very deserving cause I'm sure you'll agree. So spare whatever cash you can and support not me; but the kids and adults who benefit from the great work by this charity. By the way I probably will need support of a different kind by the time I cross that finish line!


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure.
