<p>On Sunday 10th April I am going to be running the Brighton Marathon, raising money for a great cause, and going through 26 miles of pain !&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Why am I raising money for <em>Brain Tumour Research...</em></strong></p> <p>On the 19th of August&nbsp;2009 our friend's son, Taylan, passed away at the age of 7. He&nbsp;had been&nbsp;diagnosed with a very rare and inoperable brain tumour the previous year.</p> <p>His parents, Andy and Figen,&nbsp;have founded Taylan's Project <a href="http://www.taylansproject.com/">http://www.taylansproject.com/</a> and are now fundraising for <a href="http://www.braintumourresearch.org/">http://www.braintumourresearch.org/</a>&nbsp;to raise awareness and much needed funds. In the UK more children and people under the age of 40 die of a&nbsp;brain tumour than any other cancer&nbsp;however research into brain tumours receives less than 1% of the national spend on cancer research.</p> <p><span style="color: #000080;">See more about Taylan and the incredible work being done to raise awareness and funds for BrainTumour work at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.taylansproject.com/"><span style="color: #000080;">www.taylansproject.com</span></a><span style="color: #000080;">&nbsp;and </span><a href="http://www.braintumourresearch.org/"><span style="color: #000080;">www.braintumourresearch.org</span></a></span></p>
