Subject:I'm Shaving My Head on July 25th – In Memory of Craig & James 💙

On July 25th, I’ll be shaving my head to raise money for The Brain Tumour Trust, a cause that means a great deal to me personally.

This is in loving memory of two remarkable young men whose lives were tragically cut short by brain tumours:

• Craig, my wife's brother, who passed away on 5th September1998 – a kind, funny, and deeply loved part of our family.

• James, one of my former students, who sadly lost his battle on 11th June 2025 – bright, brave, and gone far too soon.

Brain tumours are devastating and often overlooked in research funding. By taking part in this sponsored head shave, I hope to raise both awareness and vital funds to support research, treatment, and families affected by this disease.

If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean the world to me – and to those who continue to fight this illness today.

Thank you for your support, kindness, and generosity. Every pound raised brings us one step closer to better treatments and, one day, a cure.

With gratitude,

Mike
