My sister was just 24 when she lost her life. She was my little sister and even now, 12 years on, the pain of losing her is as immense as that day. Brain tumours are one of the most underfunded areas of cancer research and young lives need to be saved. Too many families are being affected and watching a loved one who has this kind of tumour pass away needs to be prevented. 

I’ll be running 26.2 miles on 26 April for my sister, and for my former student Ross, who is currently fighting this terrible condition - if he can fight this then I can finish the marathon.

Let’s do this!
