Liz Farley is raising money for Iggy's Fund
In memory of Iggy

Great North Run 2026 · 13 September 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

The charity aims to promote community participation in healthy recreation, help provide valued funding by way of grants to the most financially challenged young people so they too can enjoy the life changing benefits of sport, protect the physical and mental health of sufferers of brain tumours and working with other specialist charities, assist with advancing education and or research in the field of brain tumours. The overwhelming theme of the charity is to organise and deliver inclusive and friendly events to raise valuable funds. Our work is only possible thanks to the people, friends of the charity, who help us every day to achieve our vision. Our board of trustees are individuals who whole-heartedly champion the positive impact that sport can have on both young people’s and adult lives and our patrons and ambassadors come from a variety of backgrounds who all passionately believe in and support our mission, using their profile to help us raise awareness of Iggy’s Fund and spread the word about our work.

Story

In 1999 Alan was diagnosed with an inoperable Brain Tumour, which at the time was devastating news for the family. Through a combination of Chemo, Radiotherapy and a cocktail of trial drugs Iggy battled the tumour for 22 years. In that time through golf days, sponsored walks, charity balls as a family we raised in excess of 300k towards research into Brain Tumours. When Alan sadly passed away in November 2021 we decided to set up a charity in Alan's name to continue his legacy. With the help of friends and family Iggy's Fund was created.
