Dear family and friends, thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As most of you know I have successfully completed my venture for Trek Ecuador. It was a gruelling 8 day adventure over a mixture of terrain ranging from volcanic landscape to sub tropical vegetation. Myself and 13 other dedicated trekkers essentially circumavigating Mount Cotopaxi for 5 days and then on the final day we ascended this magnificant snow capped slopes of the volcano and had a splendid cup of hot chocolate at the Padre Jose F. Ribas Refuge at 4,800m.

The main aim of the Trek was to raise funds for the National Hospital Development Foundation to establish the UK's first Brain Tumour Unit and with your amazing support and generous contributions I was able to exceed my goal.....

So a big, big thank you to you, my friends, family and supporters!!

The reason I have undertaken this adventure is quite close to me. I have worked for the last 10months within the Brain Tumour service and I am aware of the postive impact a dedicated unit will make to these patients.

Every year 5,000 people are diagnosed with primary brain cancer and more than 40,000 people develop secondary cancer in their brain. The new Brain Tumour Unit’s aim will be to improve patient outcomes, quality of life and overall prognosis. Making the best use of currently available technological advances and building on the strengths of The National, this unit will open the door to many more patients at a central unit run by international specialists.
