Anyone who knows me will know that I have had a ponytail since I was about 9 years old. I have now decided to have it chopped off and donated to the Little Princess Trust, so that it can be made into a wig for a child who has lost their hair through either cancer treatment or other illness. 

The biggest cause of cancer in children is through brain tumours, yet research only receives 1% of the national spend of Cancer Research. In view of this, I have decided to ask for sponsorship for the Glasgow University Brain Tumour Research Fund, who undertake smaller research projects which can eventually lead to an important research project involving both scientists and doctors.

As my family understand the devastating effects even a benign brain tumour can have on someone's life, I would be grateful for any sponsorship towards my goal for the Brain Tumour Research Fund. 

In memory of my Gran, Margaret Grierson.
