Hi everyone I thought I’d set myself a new challenge and do this walk a little 26.2 miles to raise some money. I have decided to raise money to be given to help people with brain tumours with hope that these can be caught and treated at an early stage. Sadly my father-in-law Dave was diagnosed late with a stage 4 glioblastoma tumour. He had treatment and operations but sadly lost his battle last April 2017. I intend to shine bright and leave abit of sparkle in the streets of London in memory of Dave and make every step count to raise Money & hope to help others.
