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. A cure really can’t wait

Story

This April I'm lacing up for the London Landmarks Half Marathon - my first ever half-marathon attempt! 🏃‍♀️ Since March is Brain Tumour Awareness Month, I thought what better way to celebrate this personal challenge than by raising money for an amazing cause?

The Not-So-Fun Facts

Brain tumours don't discriminate - they affect kids, adults, everyone. They're actually more deadly than many better-known cancers:

Killing more children than leukaemia

More men under 70 than prostate cancer

More women under 35 than breast cancer

Yet (and this is crazy) brain tumour research gets just 1.37% of national cancer funding. Talk about unfair!

Why This Matters To Me

This hits close to home. We lost my lovely mother-in-law June to a brain tumour last year. My friend Greg's family has been on this rollercoaster for 6 years - his daughter Evanne was diagnosed as a teenager and is now a young ambassador for the charity. Greg's helped me professionally a lot over the years, and I'd love to show some support right back.

Spare Change = Big Change!

Got some coins hiding in your sofa? Or maybe a few quid you might have spent on that coffee? Every little bit helps! You don't need to break the bank - all those small donations add up to make a massive difference.

With less than 4 weeks to go, help me cross both the finish line AND a fundraising goal that matters!

Thanks a million! ❤️
