Story
In November 2024, my wife’s family were hit with devastating news that their son/brother/uncle, Ian, was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma.
Glioblastoma is a grade 4 cancerous brain tumour that has an average survival time between 12 & 18 months. Only 25% of patients survive more than one year, and only 5% of patients survive more than five years.
Throughout 2025 I am partaking in some charity events with the hope of raising some money and awareness along the way.
Ian has asked that all donations from this fundraising go to 'The Brain Tumour Charity'.

Jan 4th - Knutsford 10k ✅
Feb 16th - Media City Half Marathon ✅
June 28th - Peak District 53km challenge ✅
July 25th - National 3 peaks challenge ✅
