In March 2022 our much loved cousin Alex Hetherington passed away at the age of just 31.  Alex had Neurofibromatosis and so a few of us are raising money for Nerve Tumours UK in his memory to help them to continue their good work.  We will be running the Brighton Half Marathon on February 26th, and the Brighton 10k and Marathon on April 2nd 2023.

Nerve Tumours UK provide crucial support to people living with the Neurofibromatoses- the conditons that cause nerve tumours.They are dominant genetic conditions, which means that they can be passed on in families from one generation to the next through genetic inheritance. Similarly, about half of nerve tumours cases recorded have no previous family history of the condition. In other words, it can occur totally “out of the blue”.

Nerve Tumours UK provides support and information, as well as campaigns and raises awareness on behalf of over 26,500 people in the UK who have Neurofibromatosis (NF1 and NF2) and Schwannomatosis. We’re here to improve lives for people with nerve tumours, by making sure those affected have access to the help they require.
