In memory of Silas Pullen
We are moving further, faster to help everyone affected by a brain tumour

Story

Last year whilst finishing our GCSE exams two friends and I wanted to set ourselves a challenge and we came up with the decision to cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats. One year, lots of planning and a practice trip to the Lake District later and we will set off in the beginning of July 2014 aiming to complete it in 14-15 days.

I want to use this opportunity to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity. Silas Pullen, a family friend, died at the age of 11 in December 2013 just 17 months after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour.

Silas was full of life and  had so much to offer the world but this was all taken away from him by this terrible disease. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and young people and yet very little is spent on research and developing new drugs in this area. Please help me raise money for the Brain Tumour Charity in Silas' memory so that vital research can take place, other children's lives may be saved and other families do not have to suffer.
