Edinburgh Marathon 2023 · 28 May 2023 ·

The brain is the most complex organ in our body. It controls our emotions, senses and actions. So when it breaks down, we break down. We fund the best research to discover the causes, develop new treatments and improve the lives of those affected. Let’s unite to accelerate progress. Today.

Story

In my life, I've unfortunately had a few friends struck down in their prime due to brain cancer. In my late teen-years, we lost our friend Sam to brain cancer. At the end of 2022, my good friend Chris lost his battle with this pernicious disease after fighting courageously to defeat it for two years.

In their memories, in 2023, I wanted to do something to help reduce the impact of this disease and increase the survival of future patients. And so I am dedicating all of my running and races to supporting the Brain Research UK charity.

I'm late to the party in setting up this page as I've already completed one event but the big one, the Edinburgh Marathon, is just on the horizon. In 2023 I'll be racing:

  • Southampton Half Marathon 2023
  • Edinburgh Marathon 2023
  • Portsmouth Race for Life 10K
  • Barry Island 10K
  • Cardiff Half Marathon 2023 

Please help me raise funds to defeat brain cancer.
