What are we doing?
Our team are taking part in a sponsored fast this year on one shared day of Ramadan. Many of us won't be eating or drinking water in daylight hours on 29th April - it won't be an easy challenge.

Who are we Supporting?
We're supporting BTRS (Brain Tumour Research & Support across Yorkshire) as this charity is close to our team. Despite lockdown measures, we're passionate about raising money to support Janet Hadley and her family through her husband Fergus' battle with "Diffuse Astrocytoma Glioma" -  an invasive brain tumour that there is no cure for.

Janet and her family are hugely inspirational at how they've been fighting this battle - and so let's use this opportunity to raise as much money as we can. Let's also remember local charities have also been hard hit by the impact of Covid-19, so another great reason to support. Please donate and sponsor our team :)

Charity Info:
Brain Tumour Research & Support is a charity that funds cutting edge research at the University of Leeds. The research focuses on developing a genetic understanding of why some tumours resist treatments. It looks in detail at how tumour cells repair themselves following radiotherapy & chemotherapy drugs, how they may change their behaviour following treatment and how it may be possible to use drugs or other bio-theraputic agents to reverse the survival mechanisms that they use. 

Ramadan
This is also an opportunity to provide spirit and support to those observing Ramadan for the full month - with our current Lockdown measures, it will truly provide a new challenge.
