March is Brain Tumour Awareness Month. Were you aware of this statistic? Or are you just told they are 'rare'? Doesn't feel rare does it? This month, as every month, we want to make you aware of the stats and stories that you need to know to realise why we need to do more to help those affected by brain tumours. #oscars #charity #braintumours #braintumourawareness #braintumourawarenessmonth

It's heartbreaking that people die from brain tumours, and two people I know have lost their lives to this disease. That's why I'm running the Great North Run for a local brain tumour charity. With more research, we can reduce the number of lives lost to this devastating illness. The Three Tumours aims to raise awareness and fund research for brain tumours. Please consider donating to this worthy cause. https://gofund.me/da1e4858 Let's work together to make a difference and bring hope to those affected by brain tumours. #BrainTumourAwareness #GreatNorthRun #CharityFundraiser

The Everest in the Alps challenge is an extraordinary event which funds extraordinary research into low-grade #BrainTumours in children. The money raised helped to open The Everest Centre - a research centre in Germany dedicated to finding new treatments for childhood brain tumours. Researchers in the UK and Germany have achieved so much in the first five years. Find out what they hope to achieve in the next five! https://bit.ly/3wdQl1z

TODAY is #GivingTuesday - and on this global day of generosity, I am asking for donations to support LLS Mid-Atlantic Region. Donations to LLS provide vital funding to help blood cancer patients with access to treatment, resources, and research. But GivingTuesday is about more than a simple financial contribution—it’s about giving things that money can’t buy... like hope, community, comfort, and more. For example: - $100 could help fund a half-hour of LLS Information Specialists’ time providing free, one-on-one support to blood cancer patients and families. Giving encouragement. 🙌 - $250 could help fund a critical lab supply for LLS-funded researchers. Giving hope. 🙏 - $1,000 could help support the training of an LLS-funded research fellow for one week. Giving progress. 👏 If you are able to give any amount for #bloodcancer patients and their families, please click here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dtkESNNZ Thank you for your support and all the #hope you provide! ♥

"Choosing to suffer is a privilege." Over the last couple of months I have got to know (via WhatsApp) an amazing and inspiring group of people – all those who, like me, will be running this year’s London Marathon to raise money for Brain Tumour Research. Some have been running for a while, others had never run before deciding to take on this challenge. What we all have in common is that our lives have in some way been touched by brain tumours. We have all shared our stories – our “Whys” as we call them - the reasons why we are doing this. The stories are heart-breaking. Some have lost their partners, others have lost brothers or sisters, best friends, parents, even children. In my case, I am running in memory of my mum, who I lost 25 years ago. For many in our group though, the painful losses are much more raw. Yesterday I was thinking in particular of Karl, whose wife Jo was diagnosed with an incurable stage 4 glioblastoma in 2022. Jo very recently passed away and yesterday her funeral took place. Karl got out the door first thing in the morning for a 10k training run before going on to deal with the main business of the day. There is a phrase that has become a bit of a slogan amongst our group, and I think it was Karl who first coined it: choosing to suffer is a privilege. When we’re out there training – in all weathers – and it’s feeling tough – tired legs, aching knees etc, we think about our Whys. They had no choice in the suffering they endured. We are choosing to suffer by training for and ultimately running an endurance race. And the fact we can make that choice is a privilege that we have to be thankful for. We are all determined to raise as much as can for brain tumour research, in memory of our loved ones. This is one of the least well funded areas of cancer research and brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. My fundraising page, for anyone feeling so inclined, is https://lnkd.in/gFaxJuAJ I am enormously grateful for every single sponsorship received, however small. #marathon #london #braintumourresearch #running #charity

An experiment on the power of the network. My LinkedIn network spans state lines and reaches multiple countries. Likewise, and with devastating consequences, cancer knows no limits or boundaries. So the experiment is this: Can my network support my Pelotonia fund raising commitment with contributions from 10 different states and at least 3 different countries? If you would like to be a part of the experiment while donating to an amazing cause whose goal is #EndingCancer, click this link: https://lnkd.in/ePyZSX6M
