One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. This disease is indiscriminate; it can affect anyone at any age. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.

Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this. It is the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. Help fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.

I will be running this years Great North Run in memory and in honour of my late Nan, Janice Neilson.Who fought against this horrible disease until the very end. She was such a gentle, kind, caring lady who was loved by everyone. I want to raise money in order to help this amazing charity support other sufferers and their families.

Any spare pennies or pounds would be greatly appreciated, lots of love Annabel x
