On the 6th August I will be running the Tough Mudder with a group of 7 at Skipton; The following weekend (13th August) I will be walking the Yorkshire 3 Peaks with my Brother - all to raise money for the PPR Foundation who support research for Brain Tumours.

The laboratory at St James’s Hospital in Leeds is the only one in Yorkshire dedicated to brain tumour research and is led by Professor Susan Short.

The cause of brain tumours is, as yet, unknown making them very difficult to treat. Funding for research is scant and currently, brain tumour research receives less than 1% of national Cancer Research spending in the UK. This statistic is absolutely shocking, particularly as the occurrence of brain tumours continues to rise year on year.

Many millions of pounds have been ploughed into research into other cancers; funding for brain tumour research lags woefully behind – some would say as much as 35 years. Research into this awful "forgotten cancer" must be stepped up. Please help us to bring brain tumour research into the 21st Century.
