Story
Following on from last years 15 hours hike, Team Arnold goes again, in memory of our wonderful pupil George Fox, who would now be 16, and to raise much needed and vital funds for Brain Tumour Research. This year we are hiking 16km over the hilly terrains of the Brecon Beacons in late March. A note from George's parents says much more than we ever could about why these funds are vital so that families do not have to go through the devasting loss they continue to endure:
'We can’t tell you how much it means to us as a family to have George’s teachers remembering and honouring him in this way. We are devastated facing this year without him, he should be taking his GCSE’s, leaving school and going to his prom. Devastatingly, brain tumours still kill more of our children than any other cancer, and we have to raise money for research to change this. Please sponsor George’s teachers any amount. George made us so proud all through his school years, we just wish he were still here continuing to do so.'
We are grateful for any donations, no matter how small, thank you.
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer… yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. This is unacceptable!
We are fundraising for Brain Tumour Research as they are the only national charity dedicated to funding long-term, sustainable research in the UK. Please help me fund the fight. Together we will find a cure.
