Story

James was diagnosed at the age of 2 with an aggressive brain tumour known as an Ependymoma. He has undergone 4 and a half years worth of treatment including chemotherapy, proton radiation, intrathecal chemotherapy and craniospinal radiation. Alongside this he has also suffered weakness to the face and body, vision loss, hearing loss, learning disabilities and mobility issues. 

James and his twin brother Joshua have decided that they would like to do their bit for the 2.6 challenge and in doing so raise money for The Brain Charity, a charity extremely close to our hearts.

Joshua will be running 2.6km and James will be doing 26 jumps! A single jump for James is a huge effort and so 26 jumps is a massive challenge!

We would be so, so grateful for any donations made. Thank you from all of us, especially James and Joshua.
