Some 11 years ago my dear friend, Paul Plowman, a fantastic father and husband, lost his battle with cancer. For the third time, I am taking on the challenge of a marathon, this time in sunny (or wet & windy!) Brighton.

I'd really appreciate your support to help me raise some funds for this fantastic charity, it would mean masses to me and makes a huge difference to their research and the lives of 1000s of people every year.

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.
