Story

Thank you so much for visiting my page.

I don’t usually ask for support, but this cause is incredibly personal to me. My little boy, Myles, has been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour and is likely to undergo surgery later this year.

To help make a difference, I’m participating in an event (details below) alongside an amazing group of researchers dedicated to brain tumour research. My goal is to cover 100 miles in May — running, cycling, rowing, even ski erging😆.

Miles for Myles🩵

I’m also doing this for my lovely friend who has been diagnosed with the same tumour as Myles🩷, and in hope for all brain tumour patients and their families.

It’s been over a year since I last ran reguarly, as I’ve been prone to injuries, so I’ll be taking it slow and steady — little and often, with fingers crossed for no setbacks.

Thank you so much — even if you’re unable to donate, your encouragement means the world to me and my family x

********************************

We are a dedicated team of brain cancer researchers united in our mission to support Cancer Research Wales.

All of 17 of us are passionately involved in brain cancer research in laboratories, clinics, and supportive roles.

As part of our commitment, we are excited to announce our initiative: "We will walk the extra mile to beat brain cancer."

Throughout May 2025, for every £1 donated, we will walk, run, or cycle one mile. Our goal is to raise £1,680 – a symbolic representation of the length of Wales' stunning coastline. This funding will directly support Cancer Research Wales' Brain Tumour Research Initiative, which focuses on discovering life-saving therapies, enhancing diagnostics, and advancing supportive neuro-oncology research.

All donations will go directly to Cancer Research Wales, the largest funder of brain cancer research in Wales. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure; your details remain safe with them as they never sell or share your information. Once you donate, your contribution goes directly to the charity—making it the most efficient way to support this important work. Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page and for considering a donation that can change lives.
