We help the brain tumour community to feel less alone and more in control

Story

I have been one of the 30 people a day diagnosed with a brain tumour twice now in the past three years. Diagnosis is frightening and the period from hearing those earth shattering words “you have a large mass on your brain “ and latterly “there are signs of regrowth “ catapult you into a hitherto unknown world. 

Brainstrust are an amazing charity that have both supported and encouraged me on this unplanned journey. This is my way of saying thank you . 

I hope to raise enough money to provide at least a dozen brain boxes. These are invaluable information packs that are sent to newly diagnosed patients if requested. 

Those of you that know me well will be aware that I am not a natural runner. I will do my very best to do a mile a day although I suspect that in the early days it will be more power walking than running!!

I will keep you updated on my progress and thank you for your support.
