Mr Motivator is doing a special 10 day workout session for brain tumour patients (me), their families (the extended Scard clan), friends and supporters (you all!), to raise sponsorship money for the charity Brain Tumour Research.

The Scard family (16 members signed up so far!) have challenged themselves to do as many of Mr Motivator's workouts as possible during the 10 days.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer and just 12% survive beyond five years. There is no cure yet, and the only way we're going to find one is through scientific research. Brain Tumour Research funds three specialist centres to do precisely that.

Why is the target £274? The full cost of 1 day of research at a centre is £2,740, so if 10 fundraisers achieve their target together we're paying for a day.

These efforts give me hope that I and other patients can lead long and productive lives, but we can't do it without you.

Join in, get motivated and together we can make a difference!
