Story

UPDATE 15/03/2011 - Thank you very much for all of your generous donations, they will make a big difference! In response to your generosity we have extended our target in an attempt to push our fundraising efforts further, challenging ourselves even more. £1,500 Let's get the word out and make a difference!!

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

 

A father/son team are aiming to raise awareness and funds for Brain Tumour UK, in memory of a great grandad and father Fergus Holland, MBE, a special individual whose life was cruelly cut short in nine short weeks by an aggressive brain tumour. 

 

In memory and awareness for a great cause we are going to cycle just over 1000 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats between 10th and 26th of June 2011 to raise much needed awareness and funds for Brain Tumour UK, the leading charity committed to fighting brain tumours by providing support, research funding and raising awareness.

 

Around 16,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year and only 12% of males and 15% of females survive beyond 5 years compared to 50% for all cancers. A truely tragic statistic which should not go unnoticed. 

 

Brain Tumour UK is a great charity and we really hope we can help them with their mission.  If you think our efforts and the cause are one you can support please make a donation and help us reach our target for a much needed cause.

  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure, your details are safe with JustGiving. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

So please dig deep and donate now.
