Story

This awful disease kills more people under 40 than any other cancer!

He died aged 34. 

Please take the time to read Natalie's heartbreaking story on the Brain Tumour Research website and The Darel Bryan Foundation link.

In Darel’s memory I will be undertaking a wing walk at a WW1 airfield on 10 July 2021, a week after what would have been his 40th birthday.

The wing walk will involve me climbing up to and then standing on the top of a 1930s or 1940s Boeing Stearman biplane (with a 450hp engine) which will take off and climb to 600 feet. I hope to experience an exciting series of flypasts, zoom climbs, steep dives and banks (BUT NOT LOOPs!). The propeller in front of me will reach speeds of 760mph. I will be wearing brown trousers!
