Story

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.

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer in children and young adults, yet has the least government funding into research of all cancers.

Funding into brain tumour research isn't just about finding a cure, but is also about lessening the life-long damages, and as someone who now has to live with various disabilities following my brain tumour diagnosis nine years ago, I want to do what I can to help fund more research.

The Brain Tumour Charity is very close to my heart - the support it provided me when I became a Young Ambassador for it just months after my third operation helped me to come to terms with my diagnosis, feel part understood and part of something, and understand my illness better.

So please donate to this amazing charity - and my drastic decision to run another Half Marathon.
