I'm running this year's Great North Run in support of The Brain Tumour Charity.

Last year my husband, Russ, was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma Multiform, he fought so very bravely every day of his illness.

The GNR this year is being held on what would have been Russ's 65th Birthday. He ran the race twice himself and enjoyed every minute, I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate his life.

The Brain Tumour Charity is the world's leading brain tumour charity and the largest dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally. Committed to saving and improving lives, we're moving further, faster to help every single person affected by a brain tumour.

We're set on finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. And we're doing it right now. Because we understand that when you, or someone you love, is diagnosed with a brain tumour a cure really can't wait.
