Last December my friends Sarah's and Ben's lovely son Silas died of a brain tumour that no surgery or chemotherapy was able to beat. This type of cancer is the biggest cancer killer of the under 40s, and yet research into its treatment is seriously underfunded. 

I'm skating the Berlin marathon so that I can ask for your help in raising vital funds for the Brain Tumour charity. And I'll skate as fast as I can, in Silas' memory and in honour of his bravery and suffering. It's the least I can do for now, not much, I know, but with your help it can really amount to much more.

Silas will be forever 11: research is the only way to help  kids diagnosed with this cancer live to be 111 instead. Let's make it happen.
THANK YOU
