I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon next year and I've decided to run in memory of Duncan McLean, a friend of my brothers and me who died suddenly in 2016 from a brain tumour at the age of 20. Those who knew him remember a fun loving sportsman who embraced all that life offered. Tragic doesn't come close to describing the loss the his family and friends. I can't think of a better and more deserving cause.

The Brain Tumour Charity is at the forefront of the fight to defeat brain tumours, making a difference every day to the lives of people with a brain tumour and their families. We fund pioneering research to increase survival, raise awareness of the symptoms and effects of brain tumours and provide support for everyone affected to improve quality of life. We are committed to having the biggest possible impact for every person affected by a brain tumour, and to defending the most amazing part of the human body.
