Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Along with a number of my fantastic work colleagues I am trekking The Great Wall of China in April 2013 to collectively raise at least £30k for Brain Tumour Research.

Brain Tumour Research is important to me because someone I have known for a very long time had a daughter who was diagnosed with a Brain Tumour at the age of 9 in Feb 2011. Sadly on 10th November 2012 this brave, inspiring, courageous angel passed away after a long and tough battle against this evil disease.

Over the last 2 years I have come to understand that Brain Tumour Research is vastly underfunded and requires £7million a year to continue valuable and necessary research into this condition. If you look on www.braintumourresearch.org  you will see some startling facts that will convince you just how important our fund raising event and others like it are.

We are looking to you to help us achieve our collective goal by donating. Whether you can donate £1, £10, £100 or more, I urge you to please just give what you can, anything will help.

For those of you who will now donate, thank you so much, for those who don't please take some time to look at the web site www.braintumourresearch.org , have a think and then come back and donate - it will make you feel good that you have contributed to a really good and needy cause.

Thanks to every one for looking at my page and........don't forget to tick the GIFT AID SECTION, this adds 25% on top of your donation by way of the government scheme,  you give the donation value and the charity claims the extra through the scheme off the government, not you.

Rod.
