Half marathon for my mum, diagnosed with Glioblastoma in 2011, and still fighting....

Every year around 9,100 people in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour. But they can sometimes be hard to treat and around 4,900 people lose their life to the disease every year.  The good news is that, in children, brain tumour survival has almost doubled since the late 1960’s.  But unfortunately less progress has been seen in adults.  Cancer Research UK is a major funder of brain tumour research in the UK and we want to see a day when this disease is cured.

Thank you for visiting my Shine fundraising page in support of brain cancer research.
