The Buckley's Conquer The Challenge for The Brain Tumour Charity

Myself and my family are taking part in the ''Conquer the Challenge" to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity, a charity very close to us all, after I was diagnosed with a brain tumour in July last year out of the blue. Thankfully it was caught in time and I had very successful surgery to remove it shortly after. As scary as this was for us at the time (not helped by a global pandemic), I feel extremely grateful that I had the best outcome and recovery, all thanks to the amazing team at The Walton Centre and the research which has gone into brain tumours so far. Sadly, I know not everyone is as fortunate as I was, and after finding out how high and fatal the statistics are, I want to raise as much money as possible in helping to fund research to help find a cure. We will each be walking/running a minimum of 88 miles throughout Brain Tumour Awareness Month; 88 for the 88,000 people living with a brain tumour in the UK. Less than 3% of cancer research funding is spent on brain tumours, so every penny will go such a long way in finding a cure to this horrendous disease which impacts so many families. It's so important to be aware of the signs and symptoms which could lead to an early diagnosis.
