Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm Tara, some of you may already know that I suffer from an AVM in my brain. 

Since being diagnosed in 2013 I have had gamma knife radiation twice, the second time being March 2018 and i'm not ashamed to say, it's knocked my confidence massively. 

I decided 4 days after my most recent brain surgery that I wanted to do something that scared me.

So I've decided to Run the Leeds 10K on the 8th July 2018, Complete the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge on 9th June 2018 and Complete the Great North Run in September. 😅 (The Great North Run = A Half Marathon)!

When you experience having an AVM and you begin the long winded process to remove it, it makes you question life, what you do for yourself, what you do for others, whether or not your getting the most out of it and what IMPACT you're having on the world.

A good friend once told me "When you feel helpless, help someone". 

Whilst googling for a charity to support, I came across The Brain Charity (rather fitting). https://www.thebraincharity.org.uk

The work they do is outstanding and It would be amazing if you have a spare £1 To chuck in the pot. 

All money will go to The Brain Charity and in return help everyone that's been effected by a nurological condition. 

Make sure you put your name so I can give you a shout out online for being a superstar. 💕 B I G L O V E
