Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this disease. We are a leading voice calling for support and action for research into what is called the last battleground against cancer.

Story

It is with both immense pride and deep sadness that I will be taking part in next year’s London Marathon. I will be running in honour and loving memory of my beautiful late wife, Michelle, and for all those who have lost their lives, or continue to fight, against brain cancer and all cancers.

Those who know me will understand that my running prowess leaves a lot to be desired, it will be a challenge….But it is nothing compared to the challenges faced by those battling cancer every single day—with every step, every breath, and every moment.

I kindly ask you to support me by donating through my JustGiving page. All funds raised will go to my chosen charity, Brain Tumour Research, to help fund vital research and move us closer to finding a cure.

Thank you all for your generosity, kindness, and the unwavering support you have shown my family and I during our journey of grief and in our time of need. It means more than words can say.

Please feel free to share this post to help spread the word, it really means a lot. Thanks for your support!

Much love to all
