Last year my brother's life was turned upside down and inside out when his 36 year old wife had a seizure due to an aggressive brain tumour. 1 year later they are continuing to fight and are receiving fantastic care and support from the hospital and I couldn't be more in awe and prouder of how they're coping.

I've also been following closely the wonderful Adam Kreutinger who brought the world of puppet building to me. He is inspiring all in his battle to beat cancer and is unbelievably positive in the face of adversity.

Therefore I've decided to take on the ridiculous and daunting challenge of completing an Iron distance event in the hope of bringing some positivity to the situation and raising funds for this amazing charity.

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.
