In October 2012 we lost a lovely friend, Aoife. She was a genuine soul who warmed to everyone and had a significant impact on myself and many others. My half marathon in October is in memory of Aoife and to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity.

The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, were moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour.We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And were doing it right now. Because we understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait.
