Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Myself (Michael Shaw) and a few colleagues at NHS Confederation (Lizzie Marlow, Sam Beckham, Christian Bengoa and Dave Prater) are taking part in Total Warrior on Saturday 24th June 2017 at Bramham Park in Leeds.Testing our strength, stamina and teamwork in aid of the Brain Tumour Research and Support across Yorkshire charity.
Total Warrior is the pinnacle of running across a 12KM route. As a team we will face 30 challenging obstacles with 10 tons of ice, 100 tons of mud as well as treacherous fire pits and uphill climbs.
Brain tumour research is under-funded and the public, in general, are unaware of the problem. Around 9,000 new cases of primary brain tumours are diagnosed in the UK each year. Across Yorkshire and the humber it is estimated that there are 1,000 patients diagnosed each year, 50 of these will be children.
Our challenge is to raise a total of £1,400 which will go directly toward funding much needed brain tumour research in Leeds as well as providing ongoing support to patients and affected families.
Your donations are very appreciated, wish us luck! x
