Andy Smith is raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity
In memory of Emily

London Marathon 2026 · 26 April 2026 ·

The Brain Tumour Charity are the world's leading charity dedicated to research into brain tumours. Our mission is to save and improve the lives of those affected by brain tumours, develop new treatments and drive urgent change.

Story

I am Emily’s Dad. A very proud dad to a beautiful little girl.

Emily, died in August 2022 of a diffuse midline glioma. She was just 8 years old and had her whole future ahead of her. She added so much to the world in her short life and would have gone on to do amazing things. Ems was bright, funny, creative, determined. She was a good friend, kind, and the best sister and daughter you could ever wish for. It’s so unfair she is not here.

Her type of tumour has no cure and so much more needs to be done to help research into more effective prevention and treatment so families like ours have more hope in the future.

On the 26th April 2026, I will be running the London Marathon for Emily’s Fund, a supporter group within The Brain Tumour Charity.

Thank you for visiting my page and for any donation you can give.
