Hello! My name is Megan and I am running a half marathon in April 2026 to help raise money for Brain Research UK. If you know me at all you will know I am not a natural runner and until March this year, I hadn’t ran properly in over 3 years due to various reasons. Getting back into it has been tough but I managed to complete the Wimbledon 10K race last weekend and it has inspired me to sign up to a half marathon. I have no idea how I’m going to do it but knowing I can raise money for a cause that really needs it will be all the motivation I need. Brain related diseases vary from chronic migraine to Alzheimer’s disease to Brain tumours. I have a special interest in Brain tumours in particular and working in cancer genetics, I know firsthand just how much research is needed to improve outcomes in these patients. Please give whatever you can and I promise I will find a way to cross the line!
