Gerald Dickens is raising money for Brain Tumour Research
In memory of Sheila Woodruff
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have never run any kind of race before, let alone a half marathon, but this year I have entered the Oxford Half in order to raise much needed money for Brain Tumour Research.
On the 16th April this year my sister-in-law, Sheila Woodruff, died as a result of a brain tumour that had been diagnosed eighteen months before. It has been a desperately sad, hard, difficult time for her whole family, but as a result of the medical treatment she received during this time Sheila was able to enjoy periods of stability enabling her to spend treasured time with those she loved so dearly.
However, there is currently no cure for the particular type of tumour.
On behalf of her husband Martin, their three sons and all of Sheila's family, I would like to raise money for Brain Tumour Research
in her memory and ensure that the search for answers is continued.
I know that we are all bombarded with requests from multiple charities, all superb and worthwhile, but if you can donate to this special cause I would be very grateful.
The event is not until October, so I have plenty of
time to train and you have plenty of time to contribute!
