At the age of 60 I have been lucky to win a place to run the London Marathon in our local running club Christmas draw! Thanks to Riviera Racers I have this wonderful opportunity and would like to raise money for Brain Tumour research. For those of you who don't know me, our youngest son was diagnosed with a brain tumour 4 years ago when he was 18. After 5 surgeries and intensive radiotherapy he has had a stable year but has been left with life changing issues.

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable!

I am fundraising for Brain Tumour Research as they are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please help me fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.
