What do you do when you find out that a friend has a brain tumour and that she has had to have a craniotomy to cut it away? You help!  My friend's name is Amy Ellen, mother of 7 month, Ivy.  She has a blog: amysbrain.co.uk which tells you all about her plan - to keep living!

I am riding between London and Cordoba (Spain) in June 2017.  That's roughly 1,300 miles and encounters the Pyrenees. I'm aiming the fundraising target at £1 a mile so the target is £1,300.  Lets get fundraising so that more funds can be put forward into finding a cure for brain tumours.

The Brain Tumour Charity is at the forefront of the fight to defeat brain tumours, making a difference every day to the lives of people with a brain tumour and their families. We fund pioneering research to increase survival, raise awareness of the symptoms and effects of brain tumours and provide support for everyone affected to improve quality of life. We are committed to having the biggest possible impact for every person affected by a brain tumour, and to defending the most amazing part of the human body.
