Hi All,

My name is Maya Tohid; a 12 year old girl who was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour in June 2023. After diagnosed, I went through an emergency brain surgery on 14th June and now I have started my radiotherapy treatment at the Christie Hospital in Manchester.

As a common side effects while having such treatment, I will be feeling very tired (lack of energy level), and also will have many headaches, and nausea.

However, I believe "STRONG IS THE NEW BEAUTIFULL"; and that is why I am determined to run 100 km while doing my 28 days of radiotherapy treatment. CANCER YOU PICKED THE WRONG GIRL!!

I am doing this to help raise money for a fantastic charity called "Young Lives Vs Cancer".

I would be so grateful for your donations, however big or small, to support my chosen charity. Every little donation helps and please share this link with others so they too can donate and help "Young Lives vs Cancer" do the amazing work they do every single day.

This charity help families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. But every day 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer. We’ll face it all together – but we can’t do it without you.
