I’ve decided to take on a 30 day StairMaster challenge, completing one hour every day for the next 30 days, to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity - a cause that is incredibly close to my heart. I’ll also be letting friends and followers set some of the rules along the way, from fancy dress sessions to carrying extra weight on my back, so there should be plenty of entertainment as well as sore legs!

This challenge is in support of my best friend Lottie’s dad, a fit and healthy consultant radiologist, who was sadly diagnosed two years ago with a terminal brain tumour. Since his diagnosis, he has gone through many rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, whilst also continuing to work at the hospital and make memories with his friends and family. His journey has not been easy, following a recent deterioration in ICU.

Over the past two years, Lottie and her family have been through more than anyone should ever have to face, yet they have shown nothing but strength, love and resilience throughout it all.

They are truly an amazing family, and the way they have come together to support one another during such a heartbreaking time is incredibly inspiring.

The Brain Tumour Charity provides vital support for families affected by brain tumours and funds essential research to help improve treatment and outcomes for the future.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean the world to me and will go directly towards such an important cause. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting both me and a family that means so much to me.
