🚶♀️ THE WALK OF HOPE: 100KM IN SEPTEMBER FOR BRAIN TUMOUR RESEARCH 🧠🤍
This September, I’m taking on The Walk of Hope challenge and walking 100km throughout the month to raise money for Brain Tumour Research.
Earlier this year, my life changed when I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a brain tumour. I’m working to stay on the road to recovery, so I’ve decided to give myself something positive to focus on — something that will help me get stronger, get outside and clear my head, while hopefully making a difference to others.
I’ll be walking throughout September, one step at a time, and every kilometre will be for a reason — to support brain tumour research.
My target was to raise £137, but as I’ve surpassed that I’m going to try for as much as possible.
Every donation, no matter how small, can make a difference:
● £137 could support a morning of experiments that provide the foundations to start clinical trials for paediatric high-grade gliomas.
● £500 could supply the essential lab materials that make a day of vital brain tumour research possible.
● £1,000 could fund a week of gene sequencing to identify DNA changes that may guide future treatments.
I will be tracking my walks using Strava and will be keeping everyone updated.
If you’re able to donate, share, or simply follow my progress I’d be very grateful.
100km. 30 days. One step of hope at a time 🤍
Thank you for your support 🧠
