Many of you will already know but for those that don’t my forever grumpy but fantastic brother in law has a brain tumour which stopped him in his tracks.

Somehow he is still here, making my sister the happiest she has ever been and in turn making us happy and grateful!

This is not just about him but for everyone that has this terrible diagnosis - often late in the game. We need more research, more treatment options and more support for those with it and for those walking alongside them

So here we are - I’m 6 stone down and enjoy running 5k-10k - but this? this is something else! Something extra and a huge challenge for me. I want a decent time so this is not about a walk for me. I want this to mean something.

So anything you can afford to bloody well motivate me to not jack it in I would hugely appreciate it!
