BLAZE is a charity founded in memory of Benjamin Shaw, who sadly passed away from a DIPG brain tumour in 2021. We now raise funds to support other children/families affected by DIPG through grants & gifts, and to help fund much-needed awareness of and research into this rare paediatric tumour

Story

On March 23, 2021, my cousin Benjamin sadly passed away as a result of DIPG.

DIPG is a rare, fast-growing & aggressive brain tumour that largely affects children - basically the worst of the worst. There is currently no treatment for it, and due to its rarity, there's not a huge amount of funding either.

Blaze, the charity set up by my cousin Ellen in Benjamin's memory, is raising money to support the children and families affected by DIPG.

This race is being held on the four year anniversary of Benjamin's passing, and I know he'd be excited to hear that work he started years ago was now being used to raise money for such a good cause.

If you can afford to donate, please do. Thank you!
