I'm abseiling down the Spinnaker Tower for Brain Tumour Research to help find a cure because one in three people know someone affected by this devastating disease.

Story

Hey!

My dad kindly signed me up for abseiling Spinnaker Tower...because he's petrified of heights and would never do it himself 😅. However he did recently run a half marathon to raise funds for Brain Tumour Research too so I guess he can be let off.

We've both raised money for Brain Tumour Research because of my mum. She got diagnosed suddenly with a grade 4 glioblastoma on boxing day 2019. She wasn't supposed to make it past that day let alone defy everything and still be here 3 years later. It isn't easy but we keep going.

So little funding is given towards Brain Tumour Research, only 1% of national cancer funding, its shocking. Anything we can do to help raise funds or even just awareness of this means a lot.

How am I gonna do? Well, I don't mind heights but they're still scary. If you've ever been to Go Ape, the tarzan swings? I'm petrified jumping off those 😂 Here's hoping that once I'm over the edge it'll be alright.

I'd love for you to give this a little share or even a small donation, £1 or less, still counts. ❤

Thankyou.
